Refurbed wheels back from S.E.M.
« on: March 02, 2011, 10:23:35 pm »
Hi all, just got my wheel back from S.E.M. in Sunderland, and I have to say theyve done a cracking job.

The wheels are pretty much back to original condition, albeit with black instead of grey inserts.

Obviously no guarantee was given that the white worm will stay away so it will be interesting to see how long they last. I may well just have them powdercoated next time but time will tell.

If anyone can give me some tips on preventing the dreaded 'White Worm' for as long as possible I would really appreciate it as im scared of what products I can and can't use!

Took the car straight up to Kielder Water  from Sunderland for good blast out so the cars in a bit of state!

Looking nice,
Only way I know of to stop the whiteworm is to not ever drive the car.
Think I want some Monzas again after seeing all of these!

Oh goddamit. Why do you have TWO threads on the same thing?

Not at all mate I was charged £288 including the VAT and they need the wheels for 3-4 days. I just took the car in and they provided me with a spare set of alloys for the duration.
