Title: my alloys need reconditioning !
Post by: godsANGER on 28 February 2010, 14:23
Hiya

I thought i would give my wheels a clean to get rid of all the brake dust, grease and stuff plus only had 10mins so couldn’t do all my car plus no point atm driving all the time up and down motorway so . . as you can see from the pics its only a we bit dirty  :rolleyes: and now i see how baddy my wheels need refurbing, just want to know how much I am looking at if i get them refurded (btw I ve never curbed my car all from the last owner, must have parked with his eyes shut) the lacquers coming off two wheels baddy and hardly off the others.

Also need new centre caps as myn are foo-bar'd, may even do some custom ons at work to go over the top, engraved out of aluminium. But well probably just buy some new caps

Also any advise on were to get them done near me i live Sheffield S21 area
