Always been quoted around £200 for 17" wheels, but was also always told that spraying them is better because if you chip powder coated wheels then the coat starts to flake off in chunks!2014 D4 XS

Give Ken a shout he gets them done all the time 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Yep, Ken is the man for Powdercoating, and/or painting them. He even has a nice set of 19's, the new HSE alloys with MTR's on ebay at the moment

Just what I have been told by a few bodyshops and refurb places - others may have a different opinion!2014 D4 XS

James right and wrong PC way better more durable but this limits colours and finishes but if PC is not done properly then yes it will flake off

I can't find Ken's wheels plus MTR's on ebay... Are they still for sale?
I know the book says D4 only for those new alloys but I can't see why they wouldn't fit a D3?
