AMG Wheel refurb, help?

[anissut]

Hi,

I kerbed a rear wheel yesterday on my 1 month old SLK55. It is so damn frustrating and completely ruined my day. Anyone know of any companies, preferably mobile who can come to me, that can refurb the 18in single spoke (not the multispokes) AMG wheel?

TIA

I noticed a couple of chips close together on one of the spokes on one of my rear wheels. I have no idea how you can get chips on the outside face of a wheel spoke, but there you are. I'd be interested to hear how you get on with a repair, as I'm considering doing it before it gets any worse, now that the lacquer has been breached.

I've had these a number of times and can only assume that it's caused by road debris. If it's only slight I touch them in carefully with some matching paint and a fine artists brush to `seal' the breach in the lacquer. As a wheel refurb. involves stripping the whole wheel and repainting/lacquering.

These do Mercedes wheel's for the Dealer's not the cheapest mind but the best around.

As someone mentioned you will pick up small stone chips on the wheels, if you do and it is on the clear diamond cut part of the AMG rim its best to touch it in with a lacquer touch up pen (to spot water getting under the lacquer causeing alloy rust).
As for a good reburb one of the best is www.pristinealloywheels.co.uk ( MBUK uses these,they are one of the only a few people that have the equipment to do a diamond cut finish.
P.S they did a magic job on mine.

Can highly recommend WheelMaster Mobile Alloy Wheel Refurbishment - I badly scratched the wheel of my SLK 55 AMG after the first couple of weeks and they were recommended to me by Mercedes Benz in Exeter. They do all refurbs for Mercedes - made a wonderful job of mine. Have since done a wheel on my ML 350 as well. Contact Neil Cole on 07793 392438 - although they're mobile, I odn't kn.kow how far he'll travel - based near Exeter.

Theres alot of companies that achieve diamond cut finish . I advise you to research on google and theres many companies that will do it for a lesser price alot of them offer a full collection and delivery service and all are competitively priced.
