Have set of 15' BBS cross spoke alloys and they need a refurb. was thinking of maybe having the wheels powder coated with a black or dark grey and a polished lip? Will this look good and does anyone have any photos! cheers

Those rims look great with black centres!
My 15'' BBS were badly curbed by the previous owner and they are showing signs of age. Can the curbing be repaired in any way and the wheels refurbished? I'm in France and am having a hell of a job getting parts which I still order from the UK or Germany.
What sort of price are we looking at here? Is it perhaps cheaper to find a better set on the bay?

Just had mine refurbed here in Ireland by main dealer. They look brand new. Now I'm afraid to drive the car.......

I don't normally like gold alloys, but those look great, especially with the polished rims. What sort of price would something like that cost to have done?
Is that one of those neat German grill badges I see there?

Up to £200 for powder coating and special finishing. Depends on state of wheels when you hand them to whoever does the job. Do a search on Scoot/Yell.com and phone around for prices.
