Even 10 would probably do. Just glue the snapped heads back on all the others for appearances sake.

If you're looking for someone local, and are prepared to risk north of the border, then I've used these before https://www.wheelshine.co.uk/

They're located on the trading estate just south of Yeovil Town Football club. I've had my Omega and LC wheels done by them, and one buckled omega rim repaired.

Thanks Malc!

The wheels on the Boxster could do with a refurb, but its unlikely to happen.
20 bolts per wheel that often snap on removal, and I believe they are around a fiver each,
Thats before the actual refurb cost.
I have always done my own up to now, but not easy to do with these.

Are they real spilt rims, or just pretending?

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

Dont know tbh, and Im not inclined to take all the wee bolts out to find out.

It was a rhetorical question

Steve next time you’re down I’ll show you the place I had the Evos wheels refurbed and powder coated, £40 a wheel and they do an excellent job👍

THink you mentioned that place before Rae. Is it in Hirwaun? 

[Raeturbo]

Yes

[Raeturbo]

Just sent you a link👍

Place I use is about £180 for 4 smaller (sub 20") wheels, plus between a fiver and tenner for any straightening/welding/whatever per wheel.  They charge for tyre refitting though.

Location no good for Sir Tig though, but gives an idea of cost.

When I had my 190e Merc around 2009 I had all four alloys refurbished for £120 & they looked fantastic so it's money well spent.  When I had 4 new tyres on the Range Rover last year the fitter commented on how bad the spare looked ( located underneath) his younger brother was just starting up a valeting business & wheel refurb business and he did the wheel for £20 made a fantastic job of it and have not had any problems with loss of pressure, I believe it's now around £50 per wheel for the Range Rover.

[Andy B]

it's £70 a rim around here, infact I recently paid £70 to have one of my diamond cut rims touched up with paint where I'd caught it on a multi-story car park ramp 

[VXL V6]

Had many sets of wheels refurbished at various places and of all of them i've only had one set that don't look shabby after a few years and that's the Irmscher wheels, that said, the car doesn't do may miles and all the other wheels all did around 20K a year.
