What would one expect to pay for a set of five expertly and newly refinished set of the Lotus alloy wheels for a Europa?
-
Brand new alloys from Banks...UK are around $170 at this moments exchange rate.
Refinished wheels should range from $100-$125 each. ld

I bought some more last year at $80 a piece plus shipping.
I'm taking the paint off of mine and polishing the lip and top of the fins.
Requires hours of wet sanding and compounds.
It's best to have a bottle of ten year old English Whisky by your side to pass the time while sanding I'm still in the process and not doing it as much as I should.

Dude--which one? The whiskey or polish??
-
English whisky? Are you sure? Scotland has much better products.
-
Yeah, got to agree Mike, it's the Scots who make decent whisky. Mind you, it's so cold and wet up there, they need to.... ;)

i found a company - VTO wheels - that has 13" 14" and 15" alloys starting at 150$ each

You guys are funny.
My good sense spoke Scotch Whisky but I thought to try an keep with the theme I went with English :confused:
As for the question on the Europa wheels, the poster stated restored. I failed to take that into consideration. What I paid at $80 ea. was non restored but no damage.
