Hi guys,

I've no idea whether or not they're any good, but they're not a million miles away from you & it may be worth emailing them a picture & seeing what they have to say.

This place were really good and well priced. Middle of nowhere but not that far from London. http://www.wheelrefurbishing.com/contact.htm

Don't suppose yours is a black TA plus is it? I walked past one near my office in Spitalfields and winced at the scraped wheel.

pristine wheels are superb but a tad pricey (and need 3 days), i wanted them to do two of my 16s but in reality by the time i factored in tyres being removed etc i was approaching the cost of a new rim, in reality i think having a 5th alloy comes in handy and you can then get your rim done at your leisure

mine are being refurbed by Rimstock (Team Dynamics of Matt Neal BTCC fame) given they take them back to bare metal and do a proper repair and are painted on their production line (had a tour of factory) and their paint finish is top notch and good value all be it out the way for you
