Advice on Kerbed 19" BBS CH Alloy
« on: January 04, 2010, 01:17:29 pm »
Hi Folks,
Just at the stage of making my car look as it should after getting the performance sorted out with the Revo package.
When I bought my car it came with 19" BBS CH alloys, 2 of which have mild kerbing marks on them at the outer lip only, not too bad but enough to annoy me  :sick:
What is the best way forward to get them sorted out, I have thought about getting them repaired at a good spray shop also thought about refurb route which would be a bit of a shame because they will spray the whole wheel i would imagine.  I have even contemplated getting 2 new wheels (700 quid) and flogging the 2 kerbed wheels to offset the cost,  so not too sure.

Any advice welcome
Kevin

The cost of refurbing all the wheels, will probably be only about £200.

Sold some stuff to a real wheel Whore over on Audi-sport.net anyway his wheel refurber was in Preston which is where I am. long story short I had to collect a test wheel to see if it would clear some brakes, but ended up getting the guided tour of the place, got to say the finish was BETTER than factory, dust managed paint areas, CNC machines for laser cutting refinishing. Had some serious 3 piece wheels in from some high end Porsche Dealers as well as private owners in for refurb.

Google WRC in bamber bridge shoudl do it

If you want to use a "local" refurber and not have to deal with couriers try Pristine Alloy Wheels.  They have a couple of agent in Aberdeen (take wheel along, they remove tire and send etc).  Turn around is 3-4 days.

Laws Tyres and Motorwerks are the agents iirc.
