Can any one give me a rough idea how much bbs LMR'S are to get refurbished!
Thanks

Depends on to what standard, polished/powder coated/splits etc etc.
Google is your best friend in these situations, or ring around and get some quotes.

Waiting on a quote at the moment! :smiley: Was wondering what other people have paid on this wheels!
Thanks.

When I was goign to get mine done I got 4 quotes from local businesses, all that I had no feed back for, and the prices ranged from £200-500 :shocked:
I'd budget for £300 for a really good job.

Those guys however, £20 a wheel..........To what standard though I cannot say. :undecided:

Had mine done about 6 weeks ago at 'The Wheel Specialist' they did a great job and couldn't recommend them more to be honest! I paid £72 per wheel and that included them removing and re-fitting the wheels from the car and removing and re-fitting the tyres.
They have various sites around the UK but it looks like the nearest to you is Fareham, Portsmouth which is where I went?

HaHaHa just done it dude...... Thanks :smiley:

I have 17" Santa Monica's (V6 4motion) but didn't go with the diamond cutting as it costs £150 per wheel and they need your wheels for 10 days!! Also, because of the finish, i.e. lacquering over a polished surface in effect, they couldn't really give a life span... basically if you kerb a wheel or get a scratch that goes right thru the lacquer you're back to square on again so felt it wasn't worth the risk for the money?
They do have various paint finishes that mimic the finish you're after which is what I went for, I really wanted to stay totally original but went for 'black chrome' which looks really good against the metallic british racing green of the car!
