Title: Alloys
Post by: ReeceH13 on November 16, 2012, 10:47:33 am: Anyone know of good alloy wheel refurb places, based in Essex or London?

I need 4 of my 18" diamond cut Monza II's refurbed and the inners painted black. Anyone know the ball park price and reccomend anywhere decent?

Thanks

Been quoted £250.00 from these guys (They balance and re-align after too)... The reason I think I'll go with them is they give you like for like tyre and rim replacement whilst they refurb your own wheels. Anyone used these peeps? http://www.wheelxchange.org/
