Use the search function for Sid1972's aquablasting Tuffs thread mate.

Metal magic in Barnley charged him £15 per wheel from memory and are not far off the M1 if you find yourself a bit further south? Open on sat mornings too as that's how I drop stuff off to them.

Guys..........

Well I picked up from Metal Magic in Barnsley. Lovely team over there. Charged me £40 down a tenner from £50 as it was not what they wanted to get it. Now am in a real quandary.

HELP NEEDED :)

So..................

The wheels are off the original '85 GT Pro I bought from the US. Thus they are 27 years old. I am not expecting miracles, so may need to admit defeat. Aqua blasting has got them 90% better than they are, but against a brilliant white bike they will look $hit.

Seen a thread about White T- Cut - can try that, but could do with a plastics expert. Can these ever be white again? Oh................and they have cracks running through the hubs........

Advice please!!
