All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

I watched a youtube video of an E86 getting some MV2s refurbed from the above company.
I was very impressed with their process, I would be surprised if they leave the factory looking that good!
If I was local to Hampshire, it would be a no brainer to go here.
FWIW I asked Ross at RBM if he knew of somewhere local and this is the place he uses.

I need to find somewhere good either up north (Leeds) or in the Midlands. I can’t justify the trip to Hampshire for wheels.Colin_E wrote: ↑Thu Apr 15, 2021 4:52 pmThat's a 5 min walk for meDeepseaskateboard wrote: ↑Thu Apr 15, 2021 4:03 pm https://myalloys.co.uk/

I don’t know what other members’ experience is, but £600 to refurb a set of 108s (£150 each for 2-piece rims) seems shockingly expensive to me. People like Mr Wilks on here and Simon Ireland on FB seem to put out fully refurbed 108s for £400-450. My neighbour got his 108s refurbed by an outfit in Farnham for £100 a corner.

I had been looking for someone to refurb my set of 224s, so today I dropped them off at My Alloys and hope to collect them next week.
I mentioned Ross and it seems they recommended him to one of their customers today!
FWIW Deepseaskateboard I've read a few positive reviews for City Wheel Refurbishment in Birmingham, but have never used them. Or if Lancashire might be easier I think mrwilks has a few places he uses pretty regularly so you could always ask him for a recommendation.
Coupes because stunning!
