Wheel refurb / replacement

[RUSSELLM]

I've currently got 9 year old 16" original wheels, which are starting to look a tad tired.

I know of a place in Brum that will re powder coat them for about £100, thing is I'm not sure I like the idea of the car sitting on my drive on axle stands, or the like.

Any advice please ?

I was thinking of putting a second hand set on, if anyone's seen a set for sale.

I met someone at cream who had put 17 or 18" wheels on, and wasn't keen on the drive.

Any suggestions welcome.

Drop Speed8 (Andy) a line, I'm pretty certain he has a set of Cerb wheels he wants to sell.

As for refurbs, I had my Tuscan wheels done by Wicked Wheels, they only had to keep it for one night (two days).

I had a bad experience with Wicked Wheels, and would not recommend them.

There are several really good places around here, Spit and Polish for one. There service is second to none and a total refurb for £50 all in.

I understand that Cerberas handle best on 16's.

Edited to add I have RL 17's and very happy

Move to some 17s!!
Should pay £50 - £60 per wheel for refurb. OR buy 2nd hand 17s with good tyres in excellent condition for about £300 - £400... I might sell you mine if I Can find a couple of 18s to go with the two I have already got!

I got mine re-furbished for about £120 all in for five by these guys www.wheelrefurbishing.co.uk/
Free pickup and delivery if you're near them.

I also have a set of 16" Tuscan rims you can borrow/have. I ran them for a while on mine until I swapped back to the originals. (they are on my profile pic)
