Banded steels
Just got a qoute back from a company to band my steelies. Now i didn't know how much they cost to get done, but they said it was £350 PER WHEEL!! Which i think is fucking extortionate!
Am i wrong? and is it just that expensive to get them done

alzone.com or something? Who did you use?
If you send them straight, clean wheels with no tyres then I think you can get all 4 delivered back for 200 quid.

Well i wanted to keep steelies, so just getting them banded as it was the easier and cheaper way than getting a 4 stud conversion and getting another full set of wheels. But seems that isn't the case

Yes mate alzone.
exact quote from there reply
"hope that makes sense, the price for 13" steels is 350 per wheel and £25 postage back to you."
So in total they want 1400 quid!!!!!! TBH that doesn't seem right.

Could be a mistake could be £350 for the set. Email back and ask coz that seems a fucking joke for a few hours labour!

Even better, just got a reply, he said its £50 a wheel. He just didn't press shift. . . which seems like a reasonable typo

I was quoted £200 for all four banded to any size.
This was from "Alzone" That is their price.
