They havent been great since day 1 TBH, plus a few roundabout "incidents" have made them naff

Apparently the M3 E46 19"'s are a PITA anyway and the laquer keeps going so need to find someone good

I have a mate who sells a fair number of reasonably nice cars, he uses a guy called Pete, from Wheel Wizard. He'll come to your house apparently.

07894 944 555

Tell him he was recommended by Rich from Performance car dreams.

ProTyre in Bristol sent my BMW alloys to a company in Northants called Pristine. Complete strip, repair, paint, lacquer etc. Came in at about £500. Seems to have a done a decent job.

Had my porsche wheels done elsewhere at a cost of £350 and they only did the face of the alloys, needless to say the paint is beginning to bubble up again......

The lesson for me from this is to be absolutlely clear what you want doing when you get the quote. Next time the porsche alloys get done it'll be a proper job rather than just doing the face of the alloys.

Fair point Daz

My take on this one is I'm planning on getting CSL wheels in the near future so not going to bother too much for these

Hi all I know this is getting an old quote but I got my BM wheels refurbished at the wheel specialist in Cwmbran just by Newport, they powder coated the wheels and did it all on the same day turn around check out the black chrome they look great on a BM cannot recommend then enough as I have done before.

I used Clinical Wheels for my Chim £40 each) and the wife's RX8 (£50 each). He did a very good job and AIUI he does wheels for Dick Lovett. He'll come to you.

Rob,

when I first posted this up I looked at Clinical Wheels and when I went to the price list page it had been hijacked by some hacker tt ("info wars"), it appears some weeks on that hasnt been sorted
