try Jason @ MIJperformance, hes in walsal mate,

Charge you about Ԛ£160ish to get 4 x 17'' bbs split rims, centres powder coated and rims polished.

so you can kinda work out how much he'll charge for other wheels.

I need mine doing on my daily driver but it works out cheaper and less inconvenient to buy some new alloys than get the old one refurbed.

if your a bit tight, BJV engineering did my bbs when i had them for Ԛ£80 cash (not vat if you don't want a bill) inc centre caps.

Word of advice, take your centre caps apart yourself (ie he only wants the metal centre disc which is metal to spray) as the guy there is a bit heavy handed and broke 3 locking plastics when he did mine.

They are in hemel Hempstead, nearish to watford i think! Not the best job but value if your on a budget!

lepsons any time, spit and polish are not bad. But i have had one of my wheels done by lepsons after spit and polish could not sort it! So i want/need! to get the other 3 done again by them to match them all properly.

by the sounds of it they arent worth going to at all.

if they take that much care by breaking your locking plastics
think of how they will treat your wheels

you get what you pay for....if your on a budget keep saving
till you have the money to get them done at somewhere like
"lepsons" and then be extra careful winkeye

I think for Ԛ£80 they did a decent job, but how long is a piece of string, if you want utter perfection that will cost, i would still recommend them any how, there were a a few imperfection here and there, but they still look crisp!

Do they do split rims? I drove my car the other day for an hour and put it back in the garage. I didn't drive it again for a couple of weeks and took her out for a wash last week at the wheels are fcuked. There must have been a lot of salt on the road and it's eaten into the ally. Looks really poo now, so defo needs a good polish. My mate also sprayed my bolts when he coded my wheels and i'd like them replaced with gold ones to match my callipers, so though i might kill 2 birds with one stone and get both done at the same time. :(
