Me too.

Hi Dan, The total cost for the 17" 197 rims was £330. That was for all 4 and included - remove old tyres, full refurb (repair scuff marks, re-finish in satin matt black powder coat), re-fit new tyres (supplied by me) and balance. I took the wheels in off the car and left them for the day. This...
