Latest wheel refurb.

[SmartAmg]

Had my 5 spoke alloys refurbed about this time last year, and whilst they where "ok" I was never really happy with them. So I've decided to try again, partly because I Kerbed one and partly because last Nov it failed it's MOT on 3 of the 4 tyres, not the tread, but the sidewalls. So I've took the One that was Kerbed, to a different wheel refurber, and told him to refurb just that one in shiny silver. Got it back today and I'm happy with it, so going to take the other 3, I'm going to use the pretty much as new, Uniroyals that's on the original wheels, to keep costs down a bit.

Just had a set of 18" 5-spokes bought on fleabay, refurbed and new Uniroyal Rainsport 5 tyres fitted.

Got them back today:





Only one wheel needed weight - the other three were pretty true (seemingly, they don't fit weights if less than 10g weight required).

Going from this:



To this:

I also think your space saver spare is going to give you ABS and ESP warnings…
