I'm having mine refurbished rught now!

They can do normal silver at abput £40 per wheel, but apparently high power silver / dark chrome can be anything up to £120 a wheel as the paint cost a hell of a lot more.

Any way, its not an arse to do, these guys have come round to my house to do it!

My car looks funny without any wheels!!
