But anyway! this company here at Fareham: http://www.thewheelspecialist.co.uk/File/fareham-details.php does alloy wheel refurbing, and they can take the tyres off the alloys and then will rebalance them for a small extra fee. I will find out details from them if other peeps want, as I will be aiming to go sometime in the week starting Saturday 5th April. So....interested parties? Not sure if they do a group discount prehaps, but can't hurt to ask can it?! If you do want to do them, can you let me know what make your wheels are, whether they have runflat tyres on, and what colour you want them, from the list shown on the left hand side of the site. Peeps Interested MINI Poser - 18" JCW Spider Spokes, Non-Runflats, WHITE Image: http://www.scnm.net/ e107_plugins/ coppermine_menu/ albums/userpics/ 48894%255B1%255D.jpg | ||

They take the tire of strip the paint smooth fill etc etc and then repaint and laque etc etc all for £50 but if a few of you guys are interested i will be able to get that price down. Bargin plus the quality is second to non and it only takes an afternoon a really pro job i can speak from experience. Both full sets of wheels i have had refurbed are 16" white star alloys and 17" white flame alloys. [ Edited Thu Mar 20 2008, 09:29PM ] | ||

Really pleased with service and results - the guys in there were very professional and they couldn't have been more pleasant to deal with. Were white and scuffed when I got the wheels!  | ||
