Wheel refurbs in Essex?

[CrippsCorner]

So the missus recently decided to mash up my Speedlines! I've never got a wheel refurbed before so looking for recommendations. They're 2218s; I'm wondering how hard the anthracite will be to match? I guess I'm going to lose the writing too, but that's not the end of the world as I can just get some aftermarket stickers I guess. Here's the damage...

Ouch! Not allowed the toaster where you want it AND she smashes up your 2118's?!

J P Polishing on Canvey are very good, used them many times, but only for complete sets. Not tried to get 1 colour matched.

Ultimate alloys in wickford are very good and can do any colour possible

JP are very good aswell but he will only do one shade of anthracite

As above,
I've used JP on Canvey for a few sets

Thanks for the recommendations...

Does anyone have experience with getting a single wheel colour matched though? I'm almost tempted to just get a whole new wheel, only works out to be about £80 more. Get fresh writing too then (you can see it fading in the picture above)

Also I need new tyres on the front soon anyway so don't really have to worry about tyre removal/refitting costs.

Id buy a new wheel, a refurbished one will never be the same as the factory one.

@kayzee where did you get those bolts from mate ? I like 'em!

These aren't the correct sizing but off eBay...

Sorry about the dirty wheel it's getting cleaned tomorrow!
