Default M444GY; You're a star! Wheel refurb

I bought a set of PRODRIVE P1 alloy wheels off here which were in quite an awful state.

They had quite big chunks out of them as if they had been rallyed on gravel. They were also showing signs of a nasty cheap refurb with bubbling paint and flaking everywhere.

I sent a PM to Maggs (M444GY). He told me to pay him a visit. I took the wheels with me. He took one look at them and told me it would be no problems.

I left them with him and returned ten days later (Today). They looked brand spanking new. They were balanced and fitted and have transformed the car.

The price was nearly half of what i was quoted nearly every where else.

I nearly crashed a few times on the way home staring in to shop windows looking at my new wheels.

Very, very happy customer.

The wheels are Anthracite. They have done a fantastic match as there is no difference between the cap (Not refurbed) and the wheel.

Anyone asking for prices please PM M444GY as i'm sure with VAT going up and with everything else going on in todays climate it wouldn't be fare for me to give the prices.

I've sent beef_on_the_bone some pics of what they look like now. If you could put them up id be grateful as i've never worked out how to do it.

I'm pretty sure I was at m444gy's when they got delivered and saw what a great job was done. Would of loved to see them before the Refurb as they sound like they were mullered

The bit highlighted linked the image to the thumbnail and not the full size image, so delete the text and wrap the web link in the code [IMG] ___ [/IMG]

I use Maggy (Ruislip Tyres) for all tyres; alloys, refurbs & wheel colour changes too.

Just a little bit of screaming, and threatening to throw the laptop of the window and i've sussed it.

It's a miserable day out but let me know if you want any more.

The ones above are how they were before the refurb. The look ok in the photos but i assure you they weren't.

I didn't know Maggy could get wheels refurbished and it's good to know because mine really need refurbishing. They look great
