17" Elite alloy refurb - is this price about right
« on: 31 October 2008, 15:53:33 »

Having just got the car, I'm spending more time looking at it carefully and one of the jobs on the list to do is the alloys.

I've just got an automated quote from http://www.thewheelspecialist.co.uk/ at £260 +VAT to fully refurbish all four wheels - is this about right, or can anyone recommend a place to have it done?

I'm working on my own, myself, same wheels as yours.

A cheap drill, couple of Wilko sanding disks, and some wurth paint - amazing results!!!

about £50 all in, but it does require patience and won't be a quick process...

Thanks Serek - I'll let you know in due course. My missus has just reminded me that I owe her 2 grand for the car, and I should be paying that off before I get the wheels done!

Perhaps i'll do it as a new years present to myself....  :y

I'm tempted - but given this effing weather and the fact that I can be hamfisted with a drill, maybe this can wait until the new year...  :y
