What happens with wheel conditioning? Where would I get that done and is there a broad cost estimate? The second hand wheels on ebay are about £65.

Thank you.
£100 quid a wheel to do properly most places. Don't get just one done though as car will look like it's been in an accident. If you're not doing all 4, just buy a second hand wheel. The coating argument is 'true' but also somewhat bull****. as they can scrub it back and use plenty of adhesive and it will give a seal. More likely, if the above hasn't worked, there maybe a fisure(hairline crack) in the alloy. So I'd want another wheel anyway.
