Around the £240ish mark at a guess.

Fred at BTM did mine which at 17's for £190 so I'm guessing for 16's it will be less. Ring him and ask.

where abouts are you from? i know an amazing guy in leicester with really good prices and amazing quality of work too.

 

[Jat_172cup]

Im from Hagley (Worcestershire) but Fred is based in Birmingham, get prices, but I would highley reccomend Fred as his boss is the person who ownes 'the wheel specialist' so you can imagine how good the finish is lol

I want to take my wheels there again, the finish is the best ive seen.

I need a set of spare wheels though.

 

[Jat_172cup]

Fred will supply you with some alloys. He gave me 3 alien green supers and an anthracite 1 lol

 

[Pedro]

Ha. No doubt he'll see this thread in the next few hours.

thanks guys. im from oldham near manchester. so you think its better than gettin a new set of something else then?

If you want to keep them clean you need a really good refurb or the defects just come back like mine have. I paid £45 per wheel for a full strip down and powdercoat, and bubbles have appeared already after only a year. I've not even caught the wheels so there's no open cracks.

But saying that, i think renault got ray charles to paint the original turinis for the cups.

The refurb Renault have done on my wheels (I bought the car s/h) is shocking! Will be going back to them...paint peeling off, rough sandpaper like finish. It's sooo s**t!
