Alloy Refurb
Probably an obvious answer on here some where.....
I am looking at getting my Alloys Refurb'd for the Summer (the paint is flaking off, and NO I haven't kerbed them
!!)
Now when I had my old RST, the original alloys had been diamond cut and then the insert had been painted white, and they looked really cool
.
I've been thinking of treating my car (I mean its not as if I buy a lot of mods for her!!!!) and getting the alloys on there now, done the same or similar? I think most have seen the type of alloys on the car at the mo;
Now, does anybody know of somewhere near me (Sarf End) that would do this, for a fair price? Also, do they put "courtesy" wheels on, as I need my car every day!!
Thank you, and sorry if this has been covered like a million times!!!!

I had mine done by Jet Tyres, quoted me 4-5 days ...... ended up being about 3 weeks 
.
Saying that, there were 'complications' with my wheels ie. I needed replacement 'fake' studs
which themselves worked out an extra £50 , and the end result was good, that was about 3-4 years ago now, and they need re-doing again ........ Or a new set of rims.
I wouldn't think anywhere will let you have 'courtesy' wheels, but ask nicely on here, and maybe someone will lend you a set of their track wheels

The problem with black alloys, is they always make the tyres look so dirty.... yes petty I know, but I would be constantly spraying my tyres with "Back2Black" spray, to get them to look black against the wheels!!!
(Thanks for the photoshop jobby, though
!!)
