I had been considering getting my standard 17” wheels refurbed - the cost was going to be £65 a wheel as I recall - but I ended up buying a set of unmarked 18” Disco Sport wheels on Gumtree, complete with decent tyres, for £220, i.e. less than the price of the refurb. And then I sold my original wheels and tyres for £100. |

I'd like to do something like that myself, but as the wife's A5 has expensive 19" S Line wheels, it's cheaper to get the originals refurbished, than spend £600+ on a second hand set which would likely need refurbishment anyway. 2009 Rimini Red SE TD4. Soon to be sold.

Every rim in Australia kisses the kerb as we have 180mm high kerbs & sometimes a touch higher, then it is a door issue.

Just thought I would check back in with the forum regarding my wheels. I got them back last week and they are excellent. It's only now when I look at the refurbished ones that I see how bad condition the wheels were in.
