Silly to get upset about some things.

Refurbished wheels on you know where. So much metal removed the centre caps are seriously proud of the recesses they fit into.

A step too far, would have been better painted, imo of course. These have been re-cut more than once I'd wager.

And the tyres are scrappers too but a grand :cry:

Shocking! :o

One of my local refurbers once told me that they won't take more than 0.5mm off, and in any case they won't re-cut a wheel more than once. If the wheel is that bad, either scrap it or put-up with it being fully painted.

Still up, and not looking smart at that money.
