Can anyone recommend a good wheel refurbishment operation ? I am located near Farnham in Surrey and happy to travel any reasonable distance for a good result.
I was reversing into the garage and was ambushed by the garage door jamb where a part of the auto door mechanism (now permanently removed) has scraped an area of the laquer on the rim between two spokes. Sad but true. rolleyes

Used them on my BMW wheels with superb results and whilst there thay had plenty of exotic wheels going through.

Thanks for all the responses. I am going to check out the Basingstoke operation first as most of the others are a bit of a hike from here. Will provide feedback as it progresses.

I can recommend 'myalloys' in Basingstoke, they did the wheels on my Tuscan and use the pictures of it in their 'gallery' section on their website. Very knowledgeable, good service and great price.

Dropped it off this afternoon. Cosmetic repair not a recommended option so full, tyre off refurb in progress, cost £65.00 plus vat. Great people to deal with and reassuring to see some of the wheels under repair in there such as a full set of GT3 RS.

Earlier I had a little chuckle to myself after a very quick search of the Vantage for the jack and wheel brace, silly me smile
Fortunately I do have a heavy duty socket set complete with torque wrench. Car is currently supported on the jack from our X3 with the Merc jack alongside it for safety - seems a bit OCD but had to do it for peace of mind. Fingers crossed neither of those succumbs to a puncture over the next couple of days.

Picked up the refurbished wheel this afternoon and these guys have done a great job on it. I would highly recommend them for anyone in the area needing work done on their wheels. http://www.myalloys.co.uk/
