Blackie Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Just had my wheels re-furbished at a cost of £200. They are not by a long shot as expensive as most of the wheels people on here have (these were £800 new) but you make do with what you have. The pictures dont really do them justice as theres a copper fleck in there and the rims are highly polished but it was really poor light.The rim of the wheel was also highly curbed by the previous owner. The whiter bits on the gray are shine marks, not chips. All coments positive and negative welcome, I just want to see what you lot think. BEFORE After Also, Sorry about the size of the pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackie Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 very nice fella Get some tyre dressing on them wheels and that will look spot on. Same sort of idea as yours (But yours cost more) But they seem to look smaller than yours even though they are 18s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 they seem to look smaller than yours and where have I heard that before? They look great bud. Its called "willy syndrome". Everybodys looks bigger than yours but in reality, both are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 question for you - when you get them refurbished whats the guarantee on the quality of the work? How weather- resistant is the coating etc? and how does that compare to the stock coating from the manufacturer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
