All being well, I may be the owner of a new car come next week. The wheels are flaking though and need a refurb.

Firstly, roughly how much per corner for 20" alloys? The other issue is I don't have a spare set so do companies loan you some, or can I just rotate and use the full size spare and make 4 separate trips?

Also looking for recommendations of somewhere Warrington-ish area

These are based just outside widnes (warrington side) and Ive heard they are pretty good.They did a lot of BMW m3 polished rims and got good reviews on the M3 forum I was a member of a while ago.
I actually used them a few times many years ago when they were based in prescot under a different name and was always happy with the job they did.

Not sure about loan alloys but I know you can leave your car with them and they will do them all in a day.Best not to keep going back and too like you said on different days as you could get a colour difference.

Out of intrest what car is it with 20in rims>

Thanks Ned, never refurbed any before and assumed it would be an overnight job but if they can finish it in a day, even better.

It's a D3 A8

I suppose it depends on the rims and what kind of finnish you want but I used them 3 times and each time it was a one day turn around though it must be 7-8 years ago when I last had some done.

Great, thanks will give them a call later.

Nothing fancy, just they have started to flake slightly so wanted to refurb them in same finish as they are now
