Default Wheel Refurb
Well, been toying with the idea of getting 20's (A8 parts had 4 for £800 put needed serious refurb which would have cost another £240) but have decided to get my original 18's refurbished instead.

Being carried out by a local wheel specialist company (The Wheel Specialist in Garforth, Leeds) in a few weeks time.

Will post pics and how it went then

I used these guys in Manchester for my Fiat Coupe earlier this year, and I'm very pleased with them. I think that cost £240 with a 25% discount, on 16 inch wheels. They weren't appropriate for my s8 refurb as they couldn't do 20" diamond cut.

I'm getting my 18" Avus refurbed. £40 per wheel, so £200 all inc. (I'm having the spare done too).

I've been too long in the trade not to have seen work done by anyone I intend to transact with, so yes, I've seen their work. Have been using them for the past 2 years.

They refurb for main dealerships, and their finish is excellent. No diamond cutting though, but with Avus, not really relevant.
