Stew Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I assume you mean the rim? I believe it's a laquered rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Painted spokes,machine turned lip. Which means that if you are unlucky and catch the lips on the kerbs (not too badly), with a lot of patience (Husky style - see his thread on polishing Nixy's exhaust) you can recover the original look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD7 Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 Yeah sadly I have got the wheel on a kurb! I'll look for that post, if not I'll have to pay one of those mobile wheel refurbishers to come and sort it out. Thanks for the info though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there seem to be loads of companies that will visit you and sort the wheel out there and then for about £80 which seems reasonable to me... Certainly beats waiting for it to come back!

clarkie34 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 I had a mobile one come and look at mine when water got under the laquer and produced White marks,he told me he could not fix it as it's not painted.I would be suprised if your guy does not say the same,it will need sending away to be re machined.
