have you thought about getting them plated instead of polished same end result
less man hours= might be cheaper?
what have you been quoted so far ?

| to be fair dash the wheels u've got arent the easiest to polish! they will be very labour intensive, £100 a wheel is actually and they are 19's!? arnt they? if u want them looking blingin ur gonna have to pay for the privalige sorry! | |

| awwwwww  fitzy man, always the voice of reason. yeah i thought £400 for the lot was pretty good considering they are 19x9 im just not keen on the idea of having the couriered all the way to scotland, i dont think i can wait that long lol i guess im just gonna bite the bullet and ship em | |

by plated i mean having them plated
they are immersed in a bath of sulphuric acid and electricity fuses chrome to the surface
as i said its not labour intensive and could be cheaper
but as fitzy said its not a bad price if you think your lookin at 100 quid equates to about 4 hrs a wheel
are they gonna be laquered ?
