Got my wheels back today after being refurbished in satin black, new falken tyres and fitted new JCW centre caps. the 313M bmw wheels next to them are destined for my 335i when the weather cheers up :D

A bit of a pointless post but really pleased with how they've came out so had to share!

Possibly the best feeling in the world getting brand spanking or refurbed wheels! Until you meet your first kerb and then the language suddenly takes a turn for the worse! But back on topic, sweet alloys on both accounts!! Where did you get them refurbed? I'm thinking about getting mine done as my white crown spokes are starting to get the dreaded yellow tinge!

JCW R105's

Penny Louise,

They are JCW R105's that were originally burnished/black. I went for Satin black this time as it's less high maintainence and is also an option on factory wheels.

N16SHP,

They were done by motorwerks in Aberdeen who send them off to Pristine (I think form memory). You're able to get a 5 day turnaround and the cost all in cost was around £290 (best to check this though as I had new tyres fitted at the same time), they did my BMW MV3 winter wheels in gloss black last year and I have no complaints with those. Another Pristine agent did the Mini's 17" S-spoke winter wheels in white which again I had no complaints with.

If you don't already have a preference for wheel refurb/tyres then definately give motorwerks a shout, their prices are good and they're good lads.

As far as anything car related goes, new/refurbed wheels and tyres is definately a great feeling! Just desperate to get them on now, aswell as the 19's onto my 335.

True that. Seen a good few wheels from Pristine and haven't seen, or heard, of any faults. Dave and Scott are also top lads.

2 nice sets of wheels there.

My mate had to get 2 of his Astra VXR polished face 19s done after his bird kerbed them during her only ever shot of the car. He got them done at Pristine as well. They organised the collection and delivery and removing and refitting of the tyres. The job on them is 100% top notch.

£290 for both sets above, or just one set?

Yeah, Ben recommended them to me last year when I was asking about places for getting tyres changed without losing an arm and a leg in the process. Are they the same folk that give you a set of rims to run around on while yours are away, or is it a case you need to have a space set? I've read about a place that does that, think it's Tawse Tyres, but heard mixed reports from there!

Just the one set mate, the 19's for the BMW are brand new.

Turrif tyres send wheels away and ive often seen them giving customers a set of wheels to keep you going.
Pristine also rings a bell to where they send them.
Whoever it is did a very good job on my mates insignia vxr polished face 20's!!

Thanks buddy! If I did get it done, I was gonna pick up the phone to you or Ryan to see if you had anything kicking about!!
