I'm sure there was a thread about a midlands refurb company that was doing an offer very cheap for alloy refurbs. I was going to get some steel rims to fit winter tyres but they are so rare that it will be cheaper to refurb the crowns I have in the garage.

Oh and if anyone has a set of 45 15" rims for winters, I know someone who is looking. The car has coronet wheels on it so matching would be nice. They don't want to spend much though as the car is basically just a hack to put miles on.

Hi duncan,

We have a community deal that Simon sorted out for us

viewtopic.php?t=2069#p18399

I got VeeKay's done at a place in Bilston Duncan. Excellent results, if you recall, and £50 per corner for the works.

Andy thanks. I saw that but I'm sure there was a really good deal posted that beat them by a long way. If I can't find it I'll look at them as they have a good reputation.

Paul, I agree your weels looked good too. What were they called so I can get an idea of price, please?

Let me know if you find a cheap/good place as I have a set of starspoke that I have to get refurbished

Is this it?

Thats the one Bernard took mine yesterday picking them up friday saw lots of wheels there and the finish looked good for £20 per corner my straughts were kurbed quite bad but lee the chap said he will sort them so i will post friday the outcome Arctic.

That's the one.

That is by far the cheapest I've seen, everyone else being nearer £40 per wheel.

A1 Renovations is the one in Bilston Duncan. Might be worth asking for a quote.

Andy, for us southerners, a good place is BJV Engineering near Hemel Hempstead. They charge £160+VAT for a set of 4 and they made an excellent job of my serpents.

HI Duncan.
As mentioned i took four 18" straights over to them Monday asking could you get them ready for me by Friday, answer was yes no problem, then yesterday i thought if i want to get the new tyres on for the weekend i would need them back before that so rang him this morning if he could do them today and could i pick them up ? answer was thought you said friday, yer i said but need them a bit earlier he then replied if you had phoned about 30mins ago i could have put them in batch we are doing but now you will have to leave it with me give me a ring about 2.00pm, ok fair enough i thought i have dropped it on him so rang at 2.00pm all done he says come and pick them up so off i go thinking wonder what they goig to be like for £20 a corner.

When i got there i had the suprise of my life i could not believe it photos do not tell lies take a look below.

Fantastic job best £80 i have ever spent not a blemish on them and two were really badly curbed, wished i knew about this place a few weeks back when toiled for 5 days sanding down and filling the damage to the serpants then spraying with can spray that alone doing it my self cost me in the region of £135 in the end. Have told chap is name is Lee he could well get a bit of work from this club and the other side, i know were i am going to take the Hairpins i have without a doubt, i was going to ask him if he would give any discount to the club but at £20 wheel i thought it was being cheeky what do you or the other members think.

If asked he will do these in one day same price i just thought give him time he must have 70-100 pairs there when i got there and people were still turning up cheers Arctic


Give Lee a ring at http://www.citypowdercoating.co.uk/

Looks very good and at £20 per wheel it's cheap enough to get done every 2 years.

Really need to have a think about using theses guys as I really want my starspokes on the car.

I wonder how much postage would be ?

Steve what did they call the colour did they put on ?

HI Andy
Think it is sparkle silver the wheels look even better in real life i dont know how they do it for the price but it is a very good job, i was quoted £90 each corner for my Serpants but done them my self i have said to lee i will be taking those to him to have done asap, dont know about posting or courier worth a call ask for Lee and say steve from the Rover club said to contact you.

Will you now have them fitted for the weekend?
I will be very interested to see them for real.

HI Bernard if not i will bring one over so people can take a look at the finished job Arctic.

Right, will be using them, then. Just got to decide which wheels to get done. I want to put winter tyres on the tourer, but the only wheels I have are prefacelift (a set of crown and a set of contour), and therefore would never have been fitted on this model. I do have an extra half set of forked, but could do without buying more wheels really.

Hi Duncan,

I'll have a set of forkes on mine that will become available when I save up and get my starspokes done and buy a new set of tyres for them, so early next year

Mmm, interesting. So I could put winters on my current ones, then use these for my summer set.

PM me with an idea of how much you'd want, please.

Hi Got the tyres fitted onto them now willpost photo once i have put them on the zion 190
