I've got a spare set of wheels which I wanted refinished in a dark grey/graphite. I've noticed this company and was hoping someone may be able to give me some feedback?

I'm quite fussy so my main consideration is a good quality job.

They are not bad.
Some of my customers have had work done there, and I can pick some small holes - but then I usually can!

What sort of holes? Anything really worth worrying about?

Not really,

A couple of small pin pricks/ fish eyes on the insides of some spokes on one wheel. Looked as if there was a bit of crap in the powder coat or it had not been degreased totally.

It was £280 for 4 wheels left on the car but I paid £210 for just dropping the wheels off.
