What moves the price

- Type of finish desired — a diamond-cut finish needs a lathe and costs more than a painted refurbishment.
- Number of wheels being refurbished — the price is set per wheel, so a full set costs more than a single scuffed alloy.
- Wheel size — larger alloy wheels take more time and paint to strip, repair and refinish.
