Do I refurbish my alloys or buy new?!

[dave1814]

Hi guys,

Need a bit of advice, my alloys have begun to look a bit shoddy (they look to be corroding around the dish (white marks)).

My options are...

a) Buy a new set of something different
b) Have them refurbished the same
c) Have them refurbished something different!

I've attached some pictures so you can see what they looked like before they started looking a bit crappy.

Thoughts?

thanks,
Dave

If it were me I would be buying something different.

One of my personal faves for black E85s

Thanks for the replies, I think I may well go for something different.

Any one had any experiences with wheelbasealloys.com ?

I quite like these...

Taz, your wheels look fantastic in my view. Had a good look at them on the Wales trip and really liked them. There are a few corrosion marks but I'd keep 'em - massive rear dish and all...

Best thing is to compare cost of refurb over a new set

Nice choices , the 2nd set look to have a nice concave face , the 3rd set are Calibre CCS which i had on my last Z , good quality wheel & if you want them try http://www.lkperformance.co.uk/ who supplied mine cheaper than anywhere else i tried

I just had 20" wheels refurbished from BJV engeneering @ £250 (supplied with tyres)

Happy with the results..and a very good price..


But I would look at something different...;-)
