   i dont know any companies close to you. have a look in the yellow pages see if they list any wheel refurb companies.
   some people also advertise on here, and do them via mail order.
   
   why not give it a go yourself, i was in the same position as you, but i went ahead and spray my wheels myself.
   as long as you give them plenty of time, sanding, primering, spraying and then laquer the results will always be good.
   
   let us know when they are Kawaski green, ive always wanted alloys that colour, but im unsure they would go with the wicked red.

   there is a good place by me but they quoted 65 a wheel. fuck that i could do the lot for 65. if i can find sum1 who will do it 4 much cheaper then i will still get it done my a pro, couldnt be botherd to ring round 4 quotes today. if i cant get anything cheaper, then i will be getting the rattlecans out.
   i saw a posi blue vts with flurecent orange vtr wheels last nite and fell in love..

   yerdusk refurbs wheels on here i think, aslong as you read furioal's guide of refurbing you will be fine just don't rush them and take plenty of time.

    There is/was a black clio with those^^^^ in that colour and it looked a lot better than I thought it would. Go for it.
