What would one expect to pay for a set of five expertly and newly refinished set of the Lotus alloy wheels for a Europa?

[Lou Drozdowski]

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??

[Roger]

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 

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.
