Default Wheel refurb

What sort of price would i be looking at to get 4 wheels refurbed, there's a bit of kerbing on each wheel and the brake dust on the back is just impossible to shift, what do you think it would cost ?

yep, normally in the £30-£50 ballpark for a decent jobbie.

Mines cost £70 a wheel totally refurb'd inside and out and better than new, really pleased with them, worth every penny:

Hmm

I got my beemer wheels refurbed there Jan 12 mths. Looked fantastic at the time. Washed the car the other day and noticed that lacquer and paint is starting to flake off. I don't use a power washer so can only conclude paints a bit soft (as in not great).

Have a couple weeks off now and was intending to get the impreza wheels done but am having second thoughts. Circa £300 for just over 12mths is a bit sore. I might just sand them and have a go myself.
