Replacement Wheels

[300 Cruiser]

The stock 17" alloys on my recently purchased 2002 GS 300 were pretty corroded in places & in a general poor state. Two tyres were leaking air around the rim so I exchanged four, like for like, with PX Wheels in Blackpool. The wheels are stripped & powder coated to a good as new finish & come with a 12 month guarantee. Cost was £255, including swapping tyres & balancing. A quick check that the wheels were available, a run up to Blackpool & all was complete in less than an hour. Local wheel refurbishment companies wanted £180 for a front face dress-up, so it seemed good value to me. Four new centre caps & the car looks tremendous.

Sounds pretty good, especially if you live close enough to Blackpool. My only concern is how do you the quality of the wheels is the same as the originals you are exchanging or are all alloy wheels pretty much the same?
