Hi RevRanger,

Can I ask how much it is costing you to have them refurbished? Whereabouts are you getting them done? And importantly, are you having the diamond cut finish restored?

Thanks.
I'm using Romax at Stockton-on-Tees. I've used them before on my MR2 wheels and they made a great job. They charge

I am based in Essex. Can you notice much difference between diamond cut and non-diamond cut?
Haven't had them done yet.
My theory is that because the 17" OEM's only have a small surface area of diamond cut per spoke compared to the 16" OEM's I think the diamond cut finished is a lot less pronounced hence why I'm doing the much cheaper alternative.

Sorry it was at integra_man as he had the original warranty claim, if you still have them in the same state I'm keen to see the corrosion

ta. So not a huge deal of corrosion there by the looks. I was told my fronts were too minor to warrant even enquiring to HUK by the stealers
