Used TWS, paid about £300 for 4. Some significant kerbing on passenger sides. Had refurb and all coated anthracite. Mine was a drive-in, drive-out cost; quite a bit cheaper if you take the stripped wheels along to them.

Top notch finish.

Looked at a few other places.................TWS sounded most professional, so went with them even though they were not the cheapest.

£329

It looks a great set up there as I went in and enquired about refurbing a set of 17's and they quoted £240. I wouldn't have though 18's would have been that much more.

I believe Prestige Wheels are pretty good also.

Don't go to Diamond Wheels in Stockport.........F$CKIN MONKEYS!

A mate has just had some alloys refurbed in Romiley [Perfect Paint] opposite Aldi.

He also had the front bumper resprayed, and a couple of other body parts sprayed up......£300 the lot [inc the alloys]

Great job aswell.
