I wouldn't recommend Cobra Customs at all

I left 4 wheels up for a refurb and they called me to say all 4 were buckeled and needed straightened. I didn't know whether this was the case and never had any signs of this, but paid them to add this onto the refurb

Got the wheels back and got new Tyres a few days later (Stupid order I know) and Kwik-Fit showed me a noticeable buckle in one of my back wheels. I hadn't hit a single bump or bad pothole so either

1 - They found buckles and didn't fix them properly but billed me anyway
2 - They lied about buckles and never actually checked

Also didn't display their prices well (Hid the VAT until payment time) so all in all, I felt conned about the whole process

IC Powdercoating have done 3 sets of wheels for me. The last set being oem BMW M wheels, one of which had a massive flat spot. They sorted it before doing the paint work.

Same... poor workmanship, took weeks - lots of excuses, TPMS sensors taken off and not put back on. Had to pay cash to meet the quoted price.
