I think wheel works uk in Crawley are very good. I'll be using them as soon as I stop finding other places to spend my money!

Drill + flap sander?

Must be worth a go surely if it saves you £100?

I am very happy with BJV Engineering who have done a couple of sets for me now. But they are in Hertfordshire so again too far / courier required.

Do you have a pefection alloys in your area?

The did an amazing job on my bbs craters. They weren't just curbed, they had lots of corrosion and had a slight wobble at 65mph that 2 tyre places couldn't sort properly.

Looked brand new after they had finished with them and cured the wobble.

BJV did an 'ok' job on my dad's wheels. Finish wasn't incredible but then again, I can't remember the price he paid :)

i can take them off but would have to go to tyre shop to be refitted to avoid damaging rims............best to have them rebalanced as well......

Hamish knows a guy who does mine - but properly - grit blasted & poly coated in a wide range of colours. Just did a set of canistos at 50 quid a corner. Quality job. He also did my chrome silver Comets, which you've seen on Betsy.
