Wheel Painting and Tyres changes in Loughborough
 
Hi guys,

I'm pretty much new to all this so go easy on me!\
I'm currently in the Loughborough area, and got my SK4 about 5 months ago.

I was thinking of getting my wheels painted/coated in white, but seeing as my fronts going anyway I thought I could do it at the same time, and maybe change my rear while I'm at it.

Are there any places in or near Loughborough that would do this.

I went to Twiggers for my MOT but thats really the only place I know of.


Cheers

Ah thanks for the link.

Could you let me know how much it's going to cost you approximately?

Still working out if I can really afford to do this.....

phoned them up and they sead £40 a wheel INC tire removal, he sead its best to have the edge of the rim polished so that it don't chip when removing a replacing the tires

that was lose wheel so take the wheels in and not the bike

Cheers mate.

Just gave them I call myself, and said that it'd be around £120 for me to take the bike in as well.

Cheers mate, just gave them a call and he said that he wasn't able to do it, and the powders across the road from them were 'useless at the moment'
Worth a try though, thanks.

is that with refitting of the tires ? and balancing

Yeah thats including refitting the tyres, or changing to different tyres if I take in a new set.
