Default Wheel Refurb

I've been looking at some '05 alloys that have a little kurbing to the two fronts. Does anyone know approx costs for refurbing wheels?

do it yourself!

I have a link at home on how to do it, but I have very successfully recently done my own - its really not that hard:

clean wheels fully
sand kerbed areas with appropriate paper grades
fill areas where kerbed
sand back
fill again
sand back repeat till wheel nice and smooth
mask up
use primer on this area
spray
laquer

Ill dig the link out later, but mine had a few small marks enough to want to get them repaired but I didnt think 45 was money well spent per wheel. I spent 20 quid in total and could have done all 4 for that - just a bit of pateince and a little skill, but anyone could do it really

Just had a quote from Wicked Wheels to do my std MY05 alloys .... because they are polished as opposed to the normal sort they take longer & it costs more; i.e. 3 to 4 days away + cost
