Getting wheels re-conditioned.

Hi,

My father owns a 5.3Ltr Jaguar XJS.

He has the 15" Lattice style rims and they are starting to peel.

I would like to get them reconditioned for him but don't know where to start.

I personally think having them highly polished would look nice but open to suggestions.

How much would I be looking to spend?

Heres an old picture but mostly it looks the same:

Thanks

I'd try some of the car forums - mate of mine used wisked wheels a few years ago and they were alright , but I think they're frnachsied so quality may well vary.

These guys are ment ot be good, but are in Brum

Lap-Tab quoted me £60 per wheel for mine (single colour, 18")

I've had my wheels done by these guys: http://www.wheelrefurbishing.co.uk/

Really good work and at £90 a pair not too expensive.
