How do they look ? are you happy with them ? Do you have pic's ? Thanks Right Kids, I picked the wheels up on Saturday from Bracknell Tyre and Battery and I was very impressed with the quality of the work. I might even venture to say 'excellent' but I have nothing else to compare with. The scuffs and curb rash have gone and the wheels look pristine (no pun intended):-) Not having a digital camera, I have been trying to enlist the help of a friend of mine. Sadly, the only opportunity was last night (circa 10.30). To say the quality is not good at all is an understatement - but it hints at the quality of the work. Hopefully I will be able to get better pics which I will endeavour to send. The salient details of the reurbishment are: 1) the company used is none other than Spit 'n' Polish 2) price per 17" wheel is £38 + VAT 3) turnaround was 3 days. Errr, hope this helps (well apart from the blurred piccies) Rgds, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need4Speed Posted September 12, 2002 Share Posted September 12, 2002 Pristine in Woburn do split-rims. I was quoted, wait for it, £160+VAT each wheel. Sounds a lot until you spend a day removing all those bolts. They're on 01908 282628. Maybe we Supra owners can do a bulk discount deal with them.

Raoul H Posted September 21, 2002 Author Share Posted September 21, 2002 Originally posted by Peter Evans Hey Raoul, My old wheels are looking good, I hardly recognised them - or was that the fuzzy picture!! Hi Peter, Glad you made it onto the BBS:D. Your old wheels have indeed come up a treat - it's just a pity the picture came out so badly. Hopefully I'll be able to make it to Boxhill - not sure yet, then you can have a look. I'll try not to curb the other three!! Why oh why do NCP car parks in London have such high curbs and narrow lanes??? Rgds, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Evans Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 I Know the problem, have already kerbed my new ones in a carpark in Crawley. Hope to see you at Boxhill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
