Hi everyone... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I have a 2000 W Reg Coupe and I keep loosing pressure from a couple of my tyres which I've been told by a couple of different people is because of the poor state of the alloys... I guess this is common with alloys?

I've been quoted between £360-460 to get the wheels completely reconditioned which is lots of money... anyone know if this is a reasonable price or are they trying to pull a fast one?

The other option is reconditioned 2nd hand alloys but i'd want to go to a reputable dealer for something like that... too big a purchase to risk on ebay I reckon. Does anyone have any suggestions, I'm in Hampshire?

Thanks everyone

I realize it may be no help coming from across the pond, but that price is incredibly high compared to what it could be done for here in the States. Is it a dealer or a independent shop quoting you so much?

Could be something simple as a bad seal. Those do sound way over priced. U can get after market a lot cheaper.
