Hi Guys

I am in need of some advice. :)

I am thinking about Refurbing my alloys myself as I want to save on costs as the car is to be sold on and don't really want to pay around £200 - £250. Is this a no no or is it possible??

The wheels don't have to look 100% but I would like them to look good.
The wheels are 3 piece BBS in a bit of state. The centre part is sprayed with the outer polished. The studs are rusty too.
The spare is perfect and by the looks of things has never been put on the car, so if I could get the rest to look more or less the same I would only have to do 3.

If you think it is poss what would I need?? And how should I go about it??

On the other hand if anyone knows someone that could do this in exchange for a full Detail that would be an option as well. :D :D

Many Thanks for your time guys.:) :)
