Gonna be buying a set of 15" BBS come January I hope but want them painted black with the rim either left as silver or chromed depending on cost.

Anyone know of someone or a garage who will do a good job of this and how much do you reckon it will cost?

Looking for someone within the London area, preferably north london - closer to me the better. I'm in Finchley.

Cheers guys!

Yeah reckon if I could actually be bothered I wouldn't do too bad a job but gonna get some quotes anyway....oh yeah need to get round to buying the wheels at some point too!

I'll post pics should I eventually get them done but then again might still settle with just havin them silver and save some cash.
We'll see, but thanks guys for your input. Appreciated!!
