Welcome to the forum Ben. I really like the black wheels on your car, suits it really well!

 

[Ben.]

Thanks! They were in a terrible state when I got the car, took them to a local compant and they sabdblasted and powdercoated them for only £68!! Best money I've spent so far on the car

That is a great price for the refurbishment!! I don't suppose it was a place anywhere near Leeds was it??

Woohoo cheers Ben! I'd heard some reports from them already, so it's good to hear some more. Only thing that's put me off using them so far is that they need the wheels with tyres already removed?? I use mine as a daily, so that causes problems...

 

[Ben.]

I bought a spare set, had them refurbed, then got the car in a tyre garage and swapped the tyres over and put wheels on. I did buy new caps and bolts to go with them aswell Top work though.

 

[Ben.]

I've used them for 3 sets of wheels now. All spot on, great price too.

Nice one, I appreciate the feedback. I looked into getting a spare set of wheels, but then other things needed fixing so the refurb has taken a back seat for now. Will likely use CAS though when I do get round to it!
