I'm just changing my alloys back to steel as they all seem to leak a bit and they need a complete refurb at only eight years old.
I've seen steels for as low as ÂŁ50. However after a refurb will alloys still not leak ?I`ve seen prices for refurb; as low as ÂŁ35 per wheel.? How does that compare with a full set of steels?.

I had the same problem. Some alloys are porous and really do leak very badly. I've researched the possibility of changing to alloys but the disadvantages are to much for the cost.I'm just changing my alloys back to steel as they all seem to leak a bit and they need a complete refurb at only eight years old.

Doesnt matter....its still weight.and included in the gross weight.As the wheels are unsprung weight how does that work?
Weight saving will depend on the wheels in question, some may be lighter, others not. I have two sets of alloy wheels for my race car, one set are seriously lightweight at about 8 KGS each with tyres, the others are closer to 18 KGS with tyres. Return costs will vary according to the level of work involved, our business neighbours are Wheel Perfection and alloy wheel return is there entire stock in trade. A set of four wheels, stripped, grit blasted, straightened as required and powder coated are around ÂŁ250 depending on straightening/dressing work required.

Tubes should never be fitted to alloy wheels.Because of alloy porosity I had two alloy wheels skimmed to try to prevent air loss.
Ended up fitting tubes to them. Job done.
I suppose that’s what you get if you go to QuickFit then.Tubes should never be fitted to alloy wheels.
