Hi all just wondering if anybody has used or recommend any alloy wheel refurbishment places.  Got a few marks and the odd kerbing there not bad but id like to have them mint again....Think someone posted up a few place a little while ago but i can not find the thread.  Think there is a place in bury/bolton that someone said does a good job but not to sure...The thing is they have a polished lip and spoke faces on them.

cant advice any place but I have to say if they are not sanded properly (which requires serious effort)
they will flake within short time.. :-/

this is the place in Bury http://www.businesspad.org/uk15_business32621_Alloy-Wheels-Refurbished-Millett-Street-Garage-Millett-St-Bury-Lancashire-BL9-0JA/ next to RRG Toyota. No idea or experience of their work though.

For what they charge these days (around £50-£60 per wheel) I think you might just as well pay a bit more and get brand new alloys. I had a set of alloys refurbished a few years ago (about £45 per wheel at the time) and although they came back looking like new, around a year later they started bubbling up and flaking again.

national alloys at widnes are said to be excellent, a single colour refurb on a standard alloy is £35, if you just need a bit of edging filling and blended, as cheap as £20

I know what you mean mate but i'm just gonna see what they say and take it from there.  Oh and if you ever want to sell that motor let me know...Love the colour and the kit and rims sooo nice.
