Mk6 GTI monza alloy refurb

<< < (2/2)

glasgowdubber:
I'm in the exact position, in the end I managed 2 pick up 2 reps from ebay recently refurbished for £99, I'm just going to send mines away for refurb. £100 seems to be the going rate. You don't want to pay any less than that as most I've read up about end up with corrosion with a year or 2. A lot of people don't rate reps, but I had a set for my old MK5 and I have to say, the reflection off them was better than any genuine wheel I've came across, and the original centre caps fitted. I think they were just a really good set.

Clarkey:
What puts me off refurbing my Genuine wheels is that they can suffer quickly from white worm after return from a small stone chip. If I knew they would last I wouldn't hesitate on paying the price. The ones I have at the moment have no white worm at all, just light kerbing from previous owners. If I paid £400 for refurb and 3 months down the line I get white worm I would be gutted.

Get yourself some G5 Wheel Armour, this should keep them nice for a year, its expensive for how much you get, but it really does work!

Yeah diamond cut looking at £100 approx. per wheel.
