Title: Alloy refurbing? worth it?
Post by: miss_golf on 01 October 2005, 11:59: I've got 17 inch alloys on my golf, they aren't split rims, but they are sort of made to look like they are :undecided:

Anyhow, they're a bit worse for wear, any suggestions of a good place in the SE to get them refurbed? Or do you think it would be cheaper to get new wheels?

Thanks :smiley:

Usually around Ãƒâ€šÃ‚£40 per wheel, I looked into it recently but needed tyres aswell so went with new rims :cool:
