| Re: Alloy Refurb A place local to me refurbishes alloys for £50 a wheel. That's a full professional service including relaquering the whole wheel . . . . don't ask me if this is a good price, though, as I've never seen any other prices. Surely to refurbish yourself you'll need some decent polishing machines, not to mention access to some good materials to repair with?
