That seems a bit steep.  I just got one of my elite rims painted for £40 by a company based in Notts.  He did a 110% effort and made it look like new, balanced it for me too.

it may be cheaper says my hubby to purchase a new set of alloys???

i dont know want to make my car look bling bling.

i was thinking about tinted windows too........would it look right on an estate and is it something i could do myself??

There was a couple in the town where I work with tinted windows, IIRC they belonged to the co-op and had a lot wood inside. ;D ;D ;D

Has anybody ever used this company i found them today and they have quoted me £285 to finish them in charcoal and £230 in silver. this is for 5 alloys.

i am very tempted as my alloys have had a battering.

have a look and let me know what you think.

(sorry try this:)

if your prepared to wait for the right set to come along you might get a good standard set of wheels on feebay much cheaper,depends on budget and personal preference i suppose. there are several sets on there at the moment :y
