Just rang around few places -
The refurb in shadow-chrome idea has went down like a lead balloon
Not because of prices but I'm told the colour isn't ideal for everyday use due to
the way the wheels would be painted to get the required finish

Knowsit I'm thinking Ace 198s
keep the ones I have and get them touched up for a winter set maybe - Ace 198s not as common so will look "Ace"

AWRC's work has gone drasticly downhill in my opinion, we've had a few sets done by them before and they have been top notch for little money. However Im just about to pick up my mothers 17" 5 Series wheels for the 5th time because paint keeps flaking off and the paintwork in general has been utterly crap, possibly rushing the prep work. I could honestly say they went in, in a better state than they came out. Bar comes obvious minor kerbing. Ill be taking my business to Nuluk wheels in carrick in future.
Well actually, AWRC maybe cheap and maybe alright when they are fresh. But look at the volks wheels mr.venom got refurbed by them, that he was overly so happy about.....
seen them at the lurgan park rally and all bubbling and look like fecked all squared
nu luk does what it says on the tin. makes wheel look like new, and stay that way.
there have been a quite a few people on rms that hav had their wheels repaired elsewhere and in the end because of the crap finish they go to nu luk to do it right.
why else would the likes of porsche etc.. all send their wheels to them to get done at nu luk. they send them their because they are the best.

And yes,AWRC's work has went downhill,as far as mickeys concerned, "F**K the quality,its the quantity you want,get them in and get them out!!!"

OK, well you're Dad lied to me then. I presume your dad is the smaller fella, rather than the big plump guy at BAWRC? I had a three piece wheel rebuilt at AWRC ages ago and the fella that did it said that he was going out on his own as he was fed up with the other fellas poor work and lack of interest. So he gave me his mobile number so I could get him in the future.

Only two of the four rims on my car were resprayed by AWRC. The other two were borderline and i touched them in myself. But im sure the ones you looked at was AWRCs handywork and not my own with the championship white touch-up pen i'm so expert in wielding.

Awrc Is A No Go For Me !!!!!!!!
LESTER IS OK, FINISH NOT GREAT BUT ACCEPTABLE MOST TIMES AND IS MORE DEPENDABLE THAN AWRC IN MY OPINION. I HAVE 2 SETS NEEDIN DONE AT THE MINUTE, THINK I WILL SEND 1st SET TO LESTER AS THEY ARE FOR RUN ABOUT SO I WILL UPDATE HIS FINISH AND MAYBE B4 AND AFTER PICS.
AS FOR THE 2nd SET I WANT THEM MINT (BETTER THAN FACTORY, AS I FIND THEY ARE A BIT SKIMPY ON PAINT TOWARDS BACK OF RIM AND BRAKE DUST STICKS) SO WOULD LIKE TO HEAR IF THERE IS ANY1 NEW OR WHO IS DOING BEST JOB AT THE MINUTE (PREVIOUS POSTS A BIT DATED NOW) I WILL UPDATE WITH DETAILS OF FINISH ETC. ANY OPINIONS WELCOME APART FROM AWRC PURE W**K !!!
I AGREE BIG TIME THE PREP IS PURE SH*T WHICH MEANS END JOB IS THE SAME, NEVER HEARD SO MANY BULLSH*T EXCUSES FOR NOT HAVING THEM DONE ON TIME ETC. I USED HIM LOADS WHEN HE FIRST STARTED AND WAS FULL OF GOOD INTENTIONS, FINISH WAS GOOD (FOR A WHILE)!!! WILL NOT USE AGAIN.

Phoned up Nu-luk wheels, quoted me 100+ vat per wheel for 18's, you can buy them brand new for 160 from ford
