Anyone know anywhere local who can refurb wheels to a good standard? Any personal experiances? any rough guide prices?

Spraying of the wheels are all sorted now, going to get the bodyshop where my kit is being fitted to do them...

Now the next question is where to get the lips of my wheels polished? Has anyone had experiance in this? Is it just a matter of ringing round metal polishing places and getting quotes? I rang Plymouth Metal Polishing & Finishing in Belliver Industrial Estate and they quoted me around £30-£35 per rim which sounds quite reasonable...

£50 isnt that bad?!?! Depends how much you like the rims... and if it will increase the resale value... if its for your nismos.... pay the money!!!! You'l get it back when you sell them!!! Hell i'll buy them off u! Would have to sell a kidney first... but it would be worth it! :nod:
Alloy refurb isnt a fun DIY task :no:

Adam change ur sig... its a lie!!!

I would do, but I just don't have the time unfortunately :(

I have got a good price though as the body shop are going to pretty much do them for next to nothing with the re-spray :D

I just have to get the lips polished now....

Yup, the Nismo's are being fully overhauled along with the whole car :D

It should be going in next week so should be done in time for the photoshoot thingy...fingers crossed.

New kit, wider front wings, new boot spoiler, refurbed wheels, wind deflectors and other bits and pieces...:D

Having seen them in the flesh, those Nismo's are fantastic alloys, really suit his car (esp as it's white :)).
