all 4 of my monza's are needing done with the front 2 pretty bad the local place in Edinburgh is wanting £440 for diamond cuts :cry:

Well Lepsons is £360 so not a massive difference but you will need to post your alloys so this may add more on and you will be without your car for a few week, unless you have spare wheels!

I probably will use Lepsons myself when the time comes.

Another option is the dealers I was offered £120 per wheel for refurbed shadows and he said they order them in but they switch them on your car there and then and then you donate your monzas back to be refurbed and then go to someone else!

will check out what the dealer says, found a place in Dundee (30-40 miles away) that are saying from £55 + vat per wheel with a 2-3 day turnaround would either have to leave the car or put it on stilts as i have no back up set.

might have a look at the dealer option found someone in Dundee for cheaper which is around 30-40 miles away (it says from £55 +vat) will check them out. they say a 2-3 day turnaround i have no spares so will look to either leave the car or leave it on stands.

Will see what the dealers says, found a place on Dundee that's £75 a wheel + vat but it's 30/40 miles away and they say 2/3 days bit of a pain.

I've heard only good reviews about Pristine too.  I'd be wary of anything too cheap, £55 sounds very cheap.  My dealer (or rather the body shop they use) quoted me £115 per wheel for diamond cut refurb.  Lepsons come in at £80 each (19") so I'll go with them when I get round to it.  They're  35 miles away, so not too far.

If you want a decent job doing, it will take a few days.

I'm so torn between paying £360 for a refurb on my Monzas or dropping less than £200 more for some alloys I had my eye on.
