Where is the cheapest to refurbish alloy wheels?   
The subject says it all really..

Would like to get my Toyota alloy wheels refurbished cos the guy who 
owned the car must have driven through acid or something, all the paint 
is coming off and is pitted.. :)

I don't want to spend a fortune because the car only cost 500 but 
cleaned up wheels would make it look MUCH better..

Thanks

I had 4 done for about 160 at http://www.mssltd.org.uk/alloy.htm last year. 
Very impressive. Better finish than new coz they lacquer them, mine weren't 
as standard. Whether you call that cheap is up to you... They removed some 
scuffs too and did a great job, turned them round in 2 days though as they 
said it took longer to acidstrip the original coating off than 
anticipated.Would use again should the need arise..
