Around 110 per corner at Lepsons or A1 in Wolverhampton. If you go to A1, they use the Aston Martin lacquer which is supposed to be harder wearing than most. But be aware each wheel can only be refurbed once, as the metal on the spokes is hollow if your wheels are OEM BBS.  :happy2:

Oh, and if it had of been you, you'd have known about it, the noise is horrendous.

Thanks for the reply. Well I did get pushed into the edge of the lanes yesterday and there are some bricks there so could have been that :sad1:.
Wolverhampton is to far away from me but a place called renowheel is meant to be very good. Worse case I'm paying around £400!
I may even go for a light silver face with black insert as someone was talking about on here a couple of days ago may look good.

The only problem is that a lot of people on here who have had these refurbed with a diamond finish have experienced whiteworm within 6-12 months, so some people have gone for the powdercoated option.

Red Robins' wheels look amazing in smoked chrome, which is what I would go for in your shoes, but thankfully my new car has 17's so they are just getting binned on ebay, allowing me to go down a completely different road.  :jumpmove:

Well I have just had a quote for £376 to get all four powder coated black and have the front machined which I think is ok, the guy said he would charge more to have it sprayed two different colours as the masking is a nightmare!

So I'm stuck in two minds really what I do!

Be interested to know what your opinion is if you get them powder coated. I need mine refurbed and I have decided to go for powder coated as this means that the white worm won't come back! Not sure where i'm gonna get it done though, because I don't know who is best in my area.

The thing is I want a bi-colour alloy and its very hard and expensive to do (apparently) as it would be a nightmare to mask off and get perfect so I don't think powder coat is an option

Unless there are some pics out there they could sway me that way :party: as I would rather have powder coat as like you said it would stop the dreaded white worm :(
