Does anyone have any recommendations for someone in the Edinburgh area who can refurb all 4 of my alloys and an idea of roughly how much it might cost ?

The lacquer on them all is beginning to split away from the wheel and is leaving some really nasty, scabby looking patches on the wheels - especially around the hub.

TIA

Could someone who isn't interested please post with some recommendations of course

There's a place in Airdire that will do them. I'm sure someone posted their details last week.

Stefan

P.S. I'm interested too after the local council decided to take a chunk out my alloy 3 months ago

Yep, I still haven't checked, but that place in Airdire was called something like Wheel Services who did a fine jobs of unflat spotting one of my alloys, they are opposite the Lada dealers.

Skunk,

My thoughts exactly don't fancy leaving the car sitting on axle stands or bricks for 5 days

Never had time to phone that place in Airdrie, but I'll give them a call tomorrow.
