My alloys really could do with a refurb, which is obviously the cheapest option approximately £400.
Or go for a different set, for a change.
Thoughts on these 19" Borbet "A" in Bright Silver, shown on another car, but you get the idea. :)

When I win Euromillions I'm going to get a set of Ferrada on my Shooting Brake.

They are loud. if you want and exuberate the loud look, then why not.

I can imagine a set being way more than 400 to have your current wheels refurbed.

I agree with Russ on that, they are bluddy dreadful. I would be embarrassed to have them on my car :eek: I am surprised that the existing wheels need a refurb so soon.:oops:

Rear wheels not to bad at all, apart from a few stone chips, but unfortunately the front wheels have had a visit from Mr Kerb, the git! :rolleyes: :eek:

Oh dear :( I have a near side front like that, not too bad though. I am still angry at myself for it after 18 months.:mad:

That picture makes it look worse than it is, Mmmm, actually on 2nd thoughts, it is quite bad, funny thing is I usually avoid kerbs like the plague, you know what I mean, Taxi to the kerb, and all that, think I'm leaning towards a refurb, but what colour? :rolleyes: :)

Talk to the refurb place. I am sure they can put a pic up of the wheel and show you how it could look in different colours - like an online configurator.

Keep us posted and good luck.
