Sized Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Well after having the standard rays on my car for 2 years and not getting a single mark on them I have managed to kerb one of my brand new SSRs within weeks of having them fitted. To say I'm pi55ed off with myself is an understatement Does anyone know of a good wheel refurber in the South West London area who would be able to fix the below sharpish? The only good news is I'm off work this week so can hopefully get it sorted asap...........cheers guys, any pointers gratefully accepted.

TimFF Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Not exactly SW London but if you're able to travel further these folks have sorted some of mine out in the past: Wheel Works in Crawley. I think some other forum members have used them too. Lepsons are further afield but have a good reputation. cheers TimFF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 You could speak to Taras at RTPerformace, he got a refurb done on my rays + calipers and he is in Brentford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't do them themselves but they know a man that can Easy option pop it in, they can take the wheel off and buzz you when it's done, I'm sure they will do you a decent price too Failing that it doesn't look too bad, probably be able to do a mobile job on it I reckon....

taras Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Nice and quick repair. PMed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sized Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 Wheel all sorted and looking as good as new Massive thanks to Taras, although he didn't have the colour in stock for my wheel he kindly made a call to a man that did who then did the repair this morning while I waited. Peter at FA Wheels in West Hampstead is the guy, and him and his team provided a great service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tez162003 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'd be interested to see what the repair looks like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sized Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 Thanks Dave, and here's a photo of the repaired section for you Tez.......... Untitled by Sized, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Was that with the tyre on and was the whole rim painted? Is the colour match with your other wheels 100%? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sized Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 Hi Colin, Tyre was left on I believe and it was done with a 'smart repair' to just the damaged area and then I assume they blend it slightly too. Colour match is 100%. If you run your finger round the rim you can everrrrr so slightly feel the finish on the repaired bit is a teeny bit smoother, and I think you can just about tell where the blended bit is if you practically have your nose touching the rim (although what I think I'm seeing might have been there from manufacture!) For the last photo I had to confirm which bit had been repaired by checking which bits of the tyre were located at the damaged area - it looks that spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Useful to know - thanks Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
