There's a mint set available from a forum member here for £268 per wheel  :smiley:

Nearly £1100 quid?

I've seen ones of average to good condition, with the standard 'white worm' selling for between £400-600. You can then spend £250 on getting them refurbed to an 'as new' condition and you'll have spent anywhere between £700 and £900.  :smiley:

I spent £650 on brand spankers and then spent another £480 getting them wrapped in good rubber...

Didn't want to start another topic but I stumbled across these while on the Bay...GLENDALES ? Over the seller tho, going on his feedback...and the fact that he doesn't mention collection in the ad...

So if your interested BE CAREFUL!!!!

So my wife has manage to kerb the n/s front alloy, not too bad as she scuffed it parking rather than clocked a kerb but a trip to the refurbishers is required.

I am going to use Pristine in Milton Keynes as they are local so I will do before and after pics, fingers crossed they do a good job :undecided:

They have quoted me £84 which sounds very reasonable to me having described the wheel over he phone, expecting it to be more when I drop wheel off, we'll see and I will post up.

Irony of it was wife had gone to charity shop with some clothes, so trying to do something good has cost us the best part of £100 :rolleyes:

These things happen, if the £84 inc vat then that's the same as I got charged from Lepsons, worked out £70 + vat...
