Aaarrrggghh - Alloy Wheel refurb help :(

[Liam_Dynamique]

As you may have guessed from the title, I have just made a complete schoolboy error coming out of a carpark with mcflurry in one hand and proper kerbed up my front left alloy. i want to cry now!

Just been into a couple of local tyre places and was told 65 quid for a refurb with shadow chrome finish, but then when theyve looked at the wheel theyve said they cant do it because of the rivets. Anyone have any experience of this? Need to know can my wheel be refurbed coz i think i will cry of it cant be. Any recommendations around West London/Middx?

Thanks guys.

Try BJV Engineering at http://www.wheelrefurbishing.co.ukwww.wheelrefurbishing.co.uk and see if they can help. The work on their website looks top banana, not too expensive and I think they are based near Hemel Hemptstead which isnt a million miles away from you. Think Im gonna get me turbines refurbed there in the summer.

cheers mate, if i was to bring them there it would be a good excuse for a night out down jumoin jacks and visage in hemel as well!

 

[Liam_Dynamique]

so does anyone know whether or not these can be refurbed with those allen-bolt rivet things round them?

cheers,

Liam
