I need to get mine refinished. There a cut surface apparently so it's a pricey job.
There's only one guy around here doing it so his prices reflect..

I remember a time when I had a few sets like that, then I was ordered to get rid of them or else.
I just about got away with it this time other than I had to agree to buy her Beamer some run flats.
The photos of other people's wheels are just plain sexy! Keep them coming.

They came with the car from new. It doesn't have a spare or any gunk.
I did have a pothole rip in the sidewall and the car behaved fine with zero tyre pressure.
Just wondered what your thinking is?

My family has had lots of problems with runflats and the gunk type too.
They are virtually unrepairable - especially if 'run flat'. It might get you home but it'll cost a new tyre!
A good set of normal tyres and a space saver stuck in the boot may be a solution or change her car- she deserves it 👍Stew,
