I need a good condition replacement alloy such as the one below. Its the polished type. Can anyone help? Will also consider new if price is right.
Cheers

Contact Dave at Sere's would be my recommendation.

Thanks guys...I take it that I shouldn't worry too much about colour match with other wheels on car? I can't see there would be any noticeable difference in batch etc? I'm replacing because of a damaged wheel and would prefer a new replacement rather than refurb the damaged one. I'm guessing that a replacement would have a more accurate colour match than refurb!

You can never 100% colour match unless they are all painted at the same time, you know different paint batches.

When I had mine done due to a careless sister and some kurbs I had all four done at the same time. Only way to ensure there's a match.

Prob a silly question, can the polished edge of the wheels be restored to its orginal state before kerbing?

**** they are cheap, im not worried about curbing mine now

Dunno as I just had mine powder coated as I'm lazy and dont like cleaning wheels.

Yeah £152 per piece! Not bad for very sexy rims!

May well just order one and see how it compares. I doubt even at 90% accurate anyone would notice! Im at the stage of replacing front tyres so best time to consider my options

Just waiting for Dave at Sere's to get back to me with a quote...

You mentioning about matching batches etc...I got my wheels second hand and noticed that two had different manufature dates to the remaining four. If I remember correctly they were out by months. They all look identical.

 

[hedgehog-harvey]

how much do these normally sell for second hand, wonder if its worth me hanging on for a spare or just buy a new one.

I have never seen a 2nd hand set for sale?!

Forgot to warn people, there are two versions of this rims, one with square cut face and the other being rounded.

I have a set of these in dark anthracite i would like to put back to its original condition, i wasnt sure if they are diamond cut or sprayed but going by the pic are the rims originally sprayed silver with a diamond cut face??
