Hi

I know there is a place for doing alloy wheels refurbishing. They are in Milton Keynes. Their website is: http://www.pristinealloywheels.co.uk/index.php

Apparently, they are really good. It has been recommended by loads of VW owners from the VolkswagenDriver magazine. Give them a call and see what they say!

Not a problem! My friend got his Mk2 GTi wheels done before, and they are the BBS RA. They done a very good job. They explained everything very clearly of the refurbishing process. However, they might be cost slightly more than other places. I still think its worth it, if you think about their quality finished. Anyway, leave you guys to it. Cheers

got mine done at this place http://www.wheelrefurbishing.com/index.htm
did a really good job, apart from spraying the wrong centre caps, but they sorted that quickly, really nice guys too, think they enjoy what they do which i think helps

but my car did look quite out of place parked with all the M3's lol

depends how much money you want to spend, just spent three weeks doing a set of p-slots myself in order to be.. well.. original... there goes that plan. have a look, not finished yet but you get the idea.

They're not cheap by any means, I went there today and for the BBS RXII's to be Refurbed the price starts from £145 per wheel :shock:
