Default Just had my wheels refurbed

My Speedline Prodrive wheels were really badly corroded and curbed when I bought my classic, so I thought I'd get them refurbished.

Well pleased with the end result, they look like new wheels!

Where was the work done and, if you dont mind saying, how much did it cost?
I need to do the same with my wheels and always curious to compare quotes.

Cheers peeps.
They were done by Alloy Art in Rochford and cost me £280 in total, which included taking tyres off and putting back on, balancing, new valves and strut brace ends. They were bright pink, so thought I'd change them:

Look fab, I've got some in gold that need a refurb. Where did you get the 'prodrive' decals from?

There's a bloke on eBay selling them. I had to ask him to cut them to the right size though (approx 90x8mm)
