Proving to be very expensive wheels after 2 getting kerbes last year they have both been scuffed again :-(

Used the wheel specialist last time happy with repair but at £150 a pop it's so expensive.

Autosphere seem to have an offer of £80 + vat per wheel but don't know much about them seen on there Facebook page someone saying it's not a proper machine they use?

Any other suggestions or experiences?

Prestige Alloys in West London. Colleagues used to use them for badly damaged wheels before their company car was returned to the leasing co. Now I live in Scotland I still use them for my partner's car as she has a habit of trashing wheels on a regular basis. Courier charges vary from £60-80 for two wheels and Diamond will turn them around and have them back to you within 3 days. Proper set up with x-ray testing for cracks, welding facilities, acid dipping or a variety of blasting techniques, 2 of the latest CNC lathes with a crazy number of wheel patterns programmed from every major wheel manufacturer, powder coating facilities, painting any way you want, ceramic bead polishing and lacquering, will work on any kind of wheel including polished split-rims that no other wheel restorer will touch. You name it, they'll do it to better than new standard.

Would be around £80-100 to repair a medium kerbed wheel but they're well worth it as they make every other wheel restorer look like amateurs.

Thanks got a quote from tlc bit more favourable trying to get more info on autosphere as there special offer is very good but is it to good to be true?

Sending them away is not really an option prefer just to leave the car with someone.
