Current oem alloys in dire need of a refurbish. So was thinking, do I get all 4 fixed or buy new ones?
I like the ispiri isr10 style as they look oem and the RS doesn't suit anything garish, imop.
Cost wise, a refurb is around 150 per corner or the ispiri's £800 new?!?!
What would you do?

Get a better price for the refurb for a start!

- price for all 4 should be somewhere in the region of £250~300

£150 a corner; where do you live, Monte Carlo?
I'm an old traditionalist and stuck with my OEMs. They were refurbished to a really good standard by a local company for about £70 each and still look great after 2 years (apart from minor kerbing

)

What £150? 'My Alloys' in Bristol are about £70 per corner, in line with others on here and are great. If you get them done, get them done properly, not a man with van, there are plenty of those!
However you could always get a nice shiny new set

and have some 'winters'
