nixy Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 oops, you wally! Should be repairable though so don't worry. I know a brill guy but he is in Essex but there's plenty of wheel refurbishers around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 are they a polished edge or a chrome lip, if it is just a polished edge it should be a straight forward job for a good metal polisher to remove that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWZ Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 That's what you get for driving with your eyes closed mate! If it's any consolation I probably have the last photo's of your unkerbed car! Seriously though, gutted for you fella, nice wheels too - hope you get them sorted soon (go on - treat yourself getting the spokes painted black - it'll make you feel better) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev946 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Hard luck mate. As Tim said, check if they are chromed or not. If they have a chromed finish on top of the alloy then polishing them make them look worse as the alloy underneath is a different colour metal. I had a tiny mark on my Work Wheels, and I was able to use a very fine piece of wet & dry paper and solvol to remove it, but these were completely polished alloy.

AndyC Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Gutted for you fella, it's one of the worst sound in the world isn't it. I know of a guy in Bolton, he's a good pal of my tyre fitter who speaks highly of his work, not used him but apparently he does a lot of work for premiership footballers. Let me know if you want me to get his number dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt want people to know I was taking advice from you, I got my reputation to think of Stuey seriously its not a prob, my dads were diamond cut he sent to them, they also darkened the inner centre so brake dust wouldnt show so much and they did an amazing job These are the Wheels from project khan he has on his Brabus S Ill get some pictures of before and after, his kurbing was far worse and he paid £260 for all four wheels and the were 20" He had the diamond cut powder coated darker in the gaps and laquered, look better than when standered: Yes I know one in picture is an Audi, but wheels are exact same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
