Hi guys can anyone recommend to me a really good wheel efurb place in the west mids? Also how much do you think this will cost? I want the wheels to have a polished edge with a painted centre and they are 15 inch. Cheers.

Were they the culprits who made a mess of those alpinas you had?
I'd use www.smartrepaircompany.co.uk they have done my hartge splits, alpinas and hartge's for me and all have come out really well.
Bollocks to this 24v scrap!

nah, that was a mixture of me, curbs and a lazy re-sprayer!

When they came out from the refurb I was happy with the work.

I used the wheel specialist's in Leeds and they did a very good job. I had a TWS Sport 2 finish for my 15inch alloy's and also the bolts and it came to £310. Only took one day and the wheels were in a really bad state before they went :)

Also managed to get them to replace all my tires at the same time and rebalance them 8)
