Default Wheel Refurbishment
Gents,

The A8 is looking lovely but the 20s are a little kerbed in places and corroded on some of the spokes.

Any good places in Wiltshire or Gloucestershire that comes recommended? Also roughly what are we looking at per wheel these days?

I'm too far away for a recommendation, but a ball park price is around £400 for 5 wheels including VAT.

Depends if you want the factory diamond cut finish or powdercoated/painted?

If the former you're pretty much limited to Lepsons - think they have a place round Swindon way? Quick google will find them

Default 20" wheel refurb
I am just about to pick up my D3 S8 20" wheels from Warfield Wheels (warfieldwheels.co.uk, 077 3882 7980) in Bracknell. Cost for 4 wheels powder coted and painted OE silver is £240.

I live near there and commute to Cipenham, so happy to act as courier if required.

Cheers

Richardracer

The benefit of these guys is that they'll diamond cut the wheels, which was the way the OEM FE wheels were finished. Very few (if any...) other places can diamond cut 20" wheels, tho' other forum members will be along to update if there are other known suppliers that do this.
