Reasonable at first glance... Not totally convinced after reading the FAQ's 
Quote:Q. I want these wheels but I have different wheels on my car, can I exchange?
A: No, this is STRICTLY a "like for like" exchange you must have the same wheels on your car that you want from me |

How much would it cost to have your existing wheels refurbed

must admit it sounds expensive to me, over 200 quid, then you need tyres, then you lose your old wheels, all for tarted up second hand ones. if you troll through ebay you can normally get a better deal that'll include tyres....

I was thinking about any members/enthusiasts who may want brand new looking wheels 
A wheel costs about £40 - £50 to get refurbished, so that's £160 at least to start with. Then you have transport costs (if you're far away)....lets say £30 postage for a set of wheels 
So there & back would cost you in the region of £60.....already a total of £220 plus.....plus they come with refurbed hub covers as well
If you get your present wheels reburbished, you're up on bricks for a week ....
This way you can put your old tyres on the new rims the day they arrive
As for your old scratched/curbed/dented/bent alloys....they really aren't worth much in that state
Also, it's cheaper than this other second hand Ebay alternative....

Someone had a cracking set of ultima wheels, (loads of spokes) for £31! scratched slightly here & there but what do you want for that kinda money! It came with skins but two were worn. Sadly the auction ended earlier today
