Does anyone know roughly how much it will cost to get a set of alloys refurbished with only some minor kerbing, nothing serious. Also where about on the east coast might I be able to get this done?

Thanks in advance,

Chris B

No relation I take it


I used BBS in Beaverhall Place (Road/Street/Lane???) in Edinburgh to bead blas, respray and laquer my alloys recently.

Cost around £50 per wheel I think

I don`t think we`re related - not unless one of our faithers were playing around a bit!!!

Thanks for the advise guys I`ll look into it.

edited to add - it`s a bit weird that you`ve got one less post than me as well spooky or what (LOL)

AJ,

It's because we let women drive our precious cars that we end up with so much kerbing

John,

They were recommended before on here. Did they do a good job? and how long did they take to do all 4 wheels?

They're only a 10min drive away from me, so would be dead handy.

I managed to kerb one of my alloys tonight [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img], six months I've had 'em and managed to keep 'em perfect. Gives me the perfect excuse to pop out to Keiths

Stefan, they did a good job. Wheels look great. Not sure what their turnaround time is, as these wheels were not on the car, so I just left them and picked them up when it was convenient for me.

John, AJ,

Yes, I did have a wee smile when you said you had kerbing repaired. Never let it be said that those OZ super T's are not strong wheels. I found the only piece of kerb on the Cairn o' Mount road in Aberdeenshire for 50 miles or so, while I was in close pursuit of a certain P1 a couple of years ago.

After giving my wife grief for years about alloys and parking the car I had to eat much humble pie...In fact, I just put 18's on the Sti and she said don't even think about telling me to be careful with em!

Jools.
