yep EACH
if you want them to look proper then they must have the black behind the diamond cut, too many firms leave this off because its a pain to do, any real enthusiast would spot the refurb a mile away

sorry martyn but that is bollocks IMO - no way would it cost 200 quid each to refurb an alloy Its about 40-50 quid MAX down here so 200 quid for the lot i'd say.

ok i had a skin full last night when i posted, what i meant to say is that most firms refurbish them in silver, it costs more money to get them done to original spec, all depends what you are using them for, if they going on another car then it doesnt matter if they dont look original, if they are going on a concourse car then you want them looking original, cheers nomad

If that was in Per Ford it was a miss print as they are split rims.

Mine have been done a few times as the ford logo has been skimmed off completely anyone one know how many time you can refurb the alloys before that has to come off?

The ones on the xr3 were not BBS split rims they are comps CXN's like on Karls 3dr I think they are around 1.5k for them from compo when i asked for them for the 3dr in 17" fitment so 16's would be a bit less.

The BBS ones aren't made any more
