Friend of mine does it in Swansea. Top job, but cost of shipping or bringing them here may be prohibitive for you.

I wouldn't go there - don't like the fact they don't take the tyre off the rim and just fill the kerbing marks with filler.

I had the wheels on the Cordy refurbed took a week as they had to be dipped as they were diamond cut and laqured and I was having a powder coated finish on them so they wouldn't flake again. Â£35 per wheel. That was in sheffield.

I no know of a place in hull that does it for Â£25pw and they can diamond cut/polish the rim for an extra Â£5/wheel. That's what I'll be after when the time comes...

I'm not sure, I'll have to ask him. What do you want, just a standard refurb?

well JB i was thinking of a refurb with a diamond cut? a good deal will be hard to resist........ Laughing

What alloys are they?

When you say diamond cut, do you just mean the outer surface highly polished?

Retroholic Joined: 27 Feb 2006 Posts: 1000

yes JB, gotta look great, and they are phase one 19 16v original alloys, been told that it will look ace with original alloys, so be it....... but they have got to look A1
