Title: Had my volks refurbished
Post by: Gatesy on March 15, 2007, 08:57:37 PM
I had a set of Volks for my FTO I managed to get quite cheap and they were quite badly kerbed so I had them refurbed but I dont know if they will suit my Rex.  Whatcha reckon?  Sorry for the pics I\'ve been redecorating and theres crap everywhere!

I dont want to go and put £250 worth of tyres on them only to sell them.
The mark inside the spoke at the bottom of the bottom pic is a reflection they are absolutely spotless.

They are 17\'s.  Had them refurbished at Pristine Alloys.  They were properly wrecked before the outter rim was cracked and the salt on the roads had eaten into the ally where the laquer had cracked.

I think they would look the nuts on a 7 mate.... why not do a photo shop to see what they would look like??

Pristine are the nuts :Thumbs-up

If anyone wants their 1st gen stock 14" alloys refurbed, these guys can do it. They have the profile to diamond cut the face to look like new.

Refurb cost me £240.  Will consider selling it but I need to fit them first and see if they suit the car.
