Seems they have renamed themselves from City Powder Coaters. I wonder if they split them for that price? I would be surprised if they do and did a proper job for that price, it would most likely be a one colour coat over the complete wheel, bolts etc. If they did I wouldn't think they mask the parts that don't need coating as when they refurb any wheels they do the face that mates to the hub whereas most other don't. Someone needs to give them a go at that price!
Nice to know the finish is durable if yours are perfect after a few years including winter 
Well I got mine back yesterday
They had the rims without tyres, chemical stripped, blasted and powder coated in metallic silver and it also included fitting and balancing my new tyres, all for £25 per wheel
Before:
After:
They are not perfect, probably 80%, as you can still see some pitting from the original corrosion, but they cost 40% of anywhere else.

They look gorgeous on the car Pete, and bloody good value at that price. Wish I lived a little nearer to Brum.Well I got mine back yesterday

Ooooooh, I need a set of those
They look great can not beat ACS rims on a zed they have that retro vibe and suit it well
Too late dude ............Yep, they look good to me in the photos.
And now that @Antm72 is on holiday for two weeks, I am going to go and nick his wheels......
Tony.
You don't need perfect all the time. So I think that's fine.
Perfect would have meant going elsewhere and spending more money so less money to spend on something else.
Or it might mean less time to spend on something else.
Perfect isn't always good
I know your doing a wheel refurb is my zed on bricks nowToo late dude ............
Tony.
That'd be telling.
