Went to Chameleon in Renfrew to get all four wheels refurbed. Friendly guy, good service, great job. £200 for four wheels, tyres removed/replaced/balanced and done in one day.

For future reference what colour are they done in exactly?
Thanks guys, happy with the resutls to say the least. Colzo: I just asked for gold, that was it.He says he keeps a stock of gold specially for Subarus.  I also asked for some sparkle to be added to the laquer as well.

Looks like a nice job [H] - and a good price for 'same-day' service .

Did you mention SIDC ? [:D]

BTW , I think Wullie said the colour he would use on my gold OZs was 'Regal' gold when I discussed refurbing them - these look like the same colour as mine .

I only had one wee problem with the motorbike wheels they did for me .

I knew that they couldn't balance bike wheels - car wheels are what they do -, and I'd to replace the bearings and bolt my discs back on anyway .

But when I took them to the backdoor of my local m/bike shop to get the tyres seated and wheels balanced the mechanic noticed that car valves had been fitted . These have longer stems than motorcycle ones and can flex and even start splitting on a motorbike wheel . But they changed them , fitted the tyres and balanced the wheels gratis (it was lunchtime [:(]) but I'll have to drop in to Chameleon and point out the difference , 'cos I didn't even notice  till I was shown myself, so if fairness being a car wheel place they'd probably not know either.... so not really their fault IMHO .

Anyway .  .  .  are you going to make it along on Thursday night ?

But yeah, I mentiod it to him and he was aware of us. Thursday night? Have guests staying but hopefully make it along.

Noticed the sparkle/metallic through the colour and thought that looked really good. [Y]
