Refurbishing alloys...?

[Classic Chris]

OZ alloys starting to look tired, time to freshen up. I checked out RMS in Prestwick, but the finishes were pretty limited and didn't look up to much. Any ideas??????

Cheers

Oooh, Yeah Think I'm Interested in this too, I might want to refurbish the wheels thats on my motor just now.... just to tidy them Up a little like.....

[Spot]

I used RMS for a set of Kahn RSS alloys for my old Astra. (about two years ago now)

There first attempt had the wheels flaking inside the 20 mile journey home....grrrr

The second attempt at least didn't peel but looked a bit keech. Granted it was a new finish for RMS at the time (a short of shadowed chrome.... lol don't ask!!!) but i will go else where in the future me thinks

I've also used Top Marks in Paisley (although i think they've changed name now) much better job on a set of OZ volcanoes.

While we are on the topic can anyone recommend a refurbisher way up north? ( Caithness area...way, way up north!!)

Sourced a place in Prestwick - Carrick Engineering. 40 pop a wheel and the finishes look good quality. The car's booked in for next week. So i'll let you know what their like.

Not 100% sure. My front right wheel hit a curb straight on with a soft tyre (the missus driving!) resulting in quite a big lip. The guys at Carrick Engineering said this was nothing, they've repaired worse.

Prob worth giving them a call 01292 678 889. I'm booked in on Tues - I'll ask when there.

How bad is it?????
