Alloy refurb
I am getting my alloys refurbished next week and have the following choices. I was wondering what people thought about these. I have the diamond cut 12 spoke 19" alloys on a D3.
1) Diamond cut with Grey insides 2) Diamond cut with Black insides 3) Rather than diamond cut, use hyper silver on the face with Grey insides 4) Rather than diamond cut, use hyper silver on the face with Black insides I am doing this because a garage cheaply refurbed them plain silver which is now peeling off.....

Diamond cut won't last as long as coated unfortunately (assuming the coating is done properly). I'd go with hyper silver with black

1) Diamond cut with Grey insides, plus Metalmate to protect the finish from general wear and tear (but not from kerbing, sadly.....)

Wow, that's cheap. I thought getting it for £456 including removal and fitting of the new tyres was good compared to previous prices I have had. My last car was about £350 for hyper silver throughout.

Mines in at the moment.
Refurbing th wheels to their original finish. Stripping back to the metal and rebuilding including powder coat and spay finish £240 + VAT Plus new centre caps and valves. Was hoping to have it back today, now maybe tomorrow but likely next week. Next job = detail...... possibly, or perhaps I'l just wash it Darned meet! I'm no longer allowed to allow the car wash guys to spray acid on my wheels, or Delroy (the wheel refurb boss) will tell me off ...again
