Wheels look Fab MAW

Did you have the wheels refurbished yourself? or did you buy them from a reman company already done?

How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking and were from?

Thanks Movi. The wheels were a bit of a find. I brought them privately of a guy on ebay. The wheels are genuine bbs MK5 alloys which he recently had refurbed but never fitted to his car. As he needed the cash to pay for a botched remap he decided to sell them on. Without tyres I paid £350. The guy had paid £40 per wheel for the refurb.

BTW Martin.

Next time you want tyres changed go to Northway Tyres, Coronation Road in Park Royal, London NW10
Tel 0208 453 0151
www.northwaytyres.co.uk
Speak to Doug.

Even though they are part of the Kwikfit set-up, they have all the correct equipment not to scratch or damage alloys. They also store your summer wheels/tyres if you purchase winter ones from them.
They have a promotion on now for Continental Winter tyres.

The other tyre company is Hounslow Tyres:
Tel 0208 570 9937

Thought this would be helpful information.

Liking the wheels. I love my black Monza's. They look really distinctive I reckon after a nice wash on the car.  :smiley:

I can see the attraction of black wheels for you youngsters.
Call me old fashioned, but as I am the resident Blingmeister, shiny ones get my juices flowing!
White wheels, vile IMO.
What about gold Monza Shadows? Hmmm....
