2004 Volvo S60 D5 SEI've decided that I want to get my 18" Nebulas refurbed as they are looking fairly mullered.
I've found a reputable company in Blackpool and took a look round their offices/workshop this afternoon & I was quite impressed, they advised me the cost of refurbing (inc. splitting the rims) would be £100/wheel.
I'm not 100% certain as whether to change the colour scheme of things.....either:
Entire wheel hyper silver.
Anthracite centre with hyper silver rim.
Black centre with hyper silver rim.
OR....spend £500 on an aftermarket set of alloys and transfer the tyres.
Opinions please....

Thanked 530 Times in 341 PostsAnthracite centre with hyper silver rim. Looks very classy.
Or as another alternative go for a shadow chrome centre with hyper silver rim.Last edited by Sharkey R; Friday 1st June 2012 at 18:53.
