Tarting up used alloys...
I'm downgrading the 16" alloys on my Volvo 940 turbo to 15" items. The smaller rimmz will be cheaper to get rubber for, less likely to get kerbed to death plus I can sell the bigger wheels to the TurboBrick gang for top coin to go towards an LPG conversion- eventually.
Anyway, ive scored a super bargain set of 15" alloys from a 1996 940, they are usable as they are with no corrosion or real nasties but they would need a bit of a refurb to make them A1. one has a big scrape on the rim and the others all have slight damage where theyve been bashed into kerbs. They look fine from a few steps away though.
How much does a refurb cost nowadays? Can anybody reccomend a decent company? Last time I had a set of wheels refurbed it cost 20 quid a corner, I don't live local to that company anymore though. If I can get these wheels sorted pretty cheaply I will, if not ill just use them as they are.
Ta guys!
