Wheel refurb - Exeter/Torquay area
Discussion
Hi
My XR2 is currently let down quite badly by its wheels. The standard pepperpots are in a bad way with the paint/lacquer all peeling off and so they need a good going over and refurbing.
Can anyone recommend a place, ideally in the Exeter/Torquay area, although anywhere in Devon would do, that would do this for me. I would be able to bring the wheels in seperately, in the second car, and could leave them for a few days if required.
As per most people, I am looking for the best compromise between cost and quality.
Can anyone recommend anywhere? I have heard that some engineering places would do this sort of thing, even if wheels isn't "their thing". Any help is much appreciated!

IIRC there was a PHer offering this service in the SW at a discounted price- i'll see if I can dig it out.
ETA- Sorry, can't find it, but found these.

This guy comes highly recommended by 'Tony Cocks' on the 911uk forum and 'runner911' on this forum. I spoke to him about recoating some Boxster wheels and he certainly seemed to know what he was talking about.
He quoted me £40 per wheel and explained that he lacquers all over not just the front as is typical.
