i have got a set of wheels coming that need a refurb, i have had the mispleasure of doing a few sets lately and i cant face doing another set, its all the messing about with the wet and dry in all the tiny little gaps and stuff!

so does anyone know where i can get a set of 4 refurbed in west mids, or even better the black country?

or possibly better, does anyone knwo where i can get them stripped? i dunno if they sand blast them or dip them in some horrible chemical, but that would be usefull, and then i can refinish them myself.

i looked into this, theres a couple of places on the tyburn road (right next to spaghetti junction)

if you google wheel refurb birmingham, they are at the top.

never used them but they say on the site, if you drop them in early doors, you can have them back stripped by closing time.
that way you can finish them how you want although, you can have them do the finish if you wish.

They charge a bomb! Something like £60 a wheel (IIRC) I know it was expensive because I would of been better buying a complete new set of wheels. lol.
