Hi dennynua, your best option is to powder coat them, it’s a far more durable and lasting finish.. I’m not familiar with them myself but have seen great reviews off Wheel Wizard also of Rim Solutions.. I think they work with most major couriers..

Tallaght powdercoaters will do a great job, about €100 or so per wheel though. I was quoted €108 per 19" wheel.
In my case that's more than half what some genuine ProDrive alloys in the right colour would be so I'm holding out for that.
They did my kit car chassis 5 years ago, and did a decent job.

I just got mine done in rim solutions and am delighted!

would the like of tallagh powder coat have a set of wheels to loan out?

heres mine

Ring John Bass in Gorey. Refurbishes a lot of alloys.

@ Brown finger I take it they were not power coated? Outstanding job done tho.


OP I have a A4 2014 and noticed the same paint flaking it looks to be a common thing on all, kinda shocking from a quality point.

Anyway, I am looking at power coating the only issue if you have the factory light silver colour you may find the available colour is darker with PC. Tried 2 places in Cork both the same.

They were powered first then diamond cut,
I think the diamond cut was an extra 200/250 :eek:
