That looks good! I'm going to go for white inserts rather than completely white alloys. I do think white alloys look better chunky rather than multi spoke type, if you see what I mean?

I'm gonna get my wheels done soon so I thought I'd bump this up in case anyone fancied a GB on wheel refurbing by this JP place, or recommend somewhere else

I went 6 months without a mark on mine, then I lightly curbed one and I seem to be doing it once a week!!!!! There still fine and with a little touch up you can hardly notice!!! (the dirt plays it part too!)

On the JP site its £40 per wheel/£150 per set of 4 up to 17" wheels.

£65 per wheel / £240 per set of 4 for 18" - 21"

That looks a good price for the 18s.

My PFF7s have a few battle scars. No curbing just stones & road debris blasting them.

There is a company in maldon that does this....they do powder coating as well as refurb and do an awesome job. I had some rather unique show wheels done there for the LCR when i had it.

Will call them tomorrow

Is this a proper GB price or a 'best he can do' price? If so, maybe we could wangle another few quid if he knows he's gonna get 5 or so sets guaranteed

Although it's a fair old saving for the 17"+ wheels, there doesn't seem to be any incentive to get smaller ones done though

Kip....getting someone to do the outer rims polished will cost a lot of money mate... i too have bk 299;s gold and a polished rim on the outside....quotes between 300 and 360 to do....its the polishing that puts most off mate

thats y i have asked abw to do mine just white as it is cheaper, but have had problems getting even that amount together since having the baby.....hopefully darren wont ban me from his place as i have let him down twice now ...should have the money soon
