To buy new alloys or to refurbish......?

[lucasgillon87]

What is the best to do?

I have really nice standard classic alloys that would look good if they were cleaned up?

How much would this cost, what types of cleaning can you get for your alloys?

Would it just be cheaper to buy new ones?

think most places charge about £30 per wheel roughly, so call it £150 for your rims as new...

plus the vat of course!!

Thanks lads, I think it would just be better if I buy new ones then.

If you shop around you might find it cheaper. I had my OZ's done about 2 years ago for £130 all in (tyres off, refurb, tyres back on).

Done mine for £30 of paint from halfords, some sand paper and a wire brush.
