as BodyShop Warehouse don't appear to be trading on ebay now - and their "normal" website just has trade stock - where is the best place to buy this stuff without being completely ripped off??

Big thanx to Adam for his how to. I spent a good couple of days preping and painting a second pair of wheels I bought, total cost for all bits was just under £80 (only had a halfords near me but next time ill purchase from Wilcos and get it delivered)

Only fitted them earlier today and then it started to snow so apologises for the dirty car and shite pic.

£70 per wheel does sound a bit steep... have a go yourself and then pay someone to do it if you fook it up! It is worth doing though, I was surprised by the good finish I got with the DIY method!

There is a great place in birmingham that does it £20 a wheel that is if supplied without tyres, £30 a wheel with (and they'll put them back on)
For that they will, chemically strip, shot blast, sand, paint and lacquer, its cheap cos they do everything in house, just found out about them after a mate got his done!
Not near a pc atm (on my phone) so soon as I am I will post a link to their site
