Dave_ciw 507 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Just been out in the VR to get some padded envelopes from our local B&M shop. When entering the one way left hand side of the island which is instantly on a left hand bend I am faced with an oncoming Mercedes being driven by a middle aged Asian lady trying to exit the wrong way! Swerving to miss her I smacked the curb on the n/s/r alloy!I was so annoyed I nearly threw up! I could of slapped her I swear even more so when she mounted the curb and drove round me!! I have a mobile repairer coming at 9am in the morning to sort it! Link to post Share on other sites

leespiro 9 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 hello again i have a set of them bbs 16inch split rims looking to get them refurbed and sprayed how much did your cost to get done as ive been quoted 80 quid a wheel Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_ciw 507 Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 £80 sounds fair to me, remember this was just some bad curb rash! Sanding out and re painted! Cost £40 but they were mobile and did come next day to sort it! Link to post Share on other sites
leespiro 9 Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 so u think i should get them done for 80 a rim Link to post Share on other sites
Dave_ciw 507 Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Well thats entirely upto you to be fair! If they are BBS Solitudes then no lol It depends what sort of rim they are and are they worth spending £320 on! If they are BBS RS 16" then sell them to me for £100 and I will do the rest!

Dave_ciw 507 Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Sorry I just saw you said they are the 16" version of the RX 2's It depends what the £80 refurb includes will they split them, repaint the centres then remove and re face the lips and re colour! Then rebuild with polished bolts??? If so then yes its worth it! Link to post Share on other sites
