If Wolverhampton is any good then the place used/recommend by the Rim King (aka Greenouse) and RebRobin should be able to help.

I've also found them very inflexible. Almost as if they have a 'menu' and you can't have anything that's not on it!  :indifferent:

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Well gave A1 a call and also got a quote off Dav at PureKLAS http://www.pureklas.co.uk/

I wanted a refurb with diamond cut face with colour coded inserts:

A1 have quoted me £105 per wheel £420 in total

PureKLAS cant do the finish I wanted but have suggested a polished finish all over including the inserts for £70 a wheel £280 all in and there not that far away Coventry.

So come Jan my wheels are off to PureKLAS for an overhall  :happy2:

BTW there sites worth a look some stunning wheels on there!

I went to lap tab in birmingham! They're pricey but well worth it! Well chuffed with the results, £240 quid for gloss black with chrome valves
