Wheel Refurb

[Brewman]

If I bought some wheels with smoked chrome polished lips is there anything that can be done to them to convert the lips to chrome polished (without the smoked effect)?

Refurbishment???

[Brewman]

Are you saying a refurbishment could do that?

Yes, get them polished or diamond cut, there are two places on Ferndown industrial estate if your anywhere near there, take them along and discuss your options.

Brilliant thanks.

I can't recommend the people in Ferndown anymore. I used "The Wheel Specialist" on my BMW alloys, was super happy with the service from a guy named Peter. He saw I was young, a student, and said if I can bring him more business we can work out a deal. Needless to say, I came back with my wheels, my dads, and an engine block to be made into a table in the next few years.

 

While my wheels turned out amazingly first time, my dads did not work as expected. Peter had a look, apologised and said he will try and fix the problem for next to nothing. Good service IMO

 

The new people who did my engine however.... Rubbish.

Thick gloopy mess in places, powder left over in others. Specific instructions on what not to do, and even though he agreed not to do it, I came to pick up parts with them painted incorrectly (even though we agreed on how I wanted it)

He then "fixed it" by grinding away the paint and damaging the parts underneath. Was so angry, I decided bugger them. Not worth my time.

 

So I personally wouldn't take it to the monkey at The Wheel Specialist, but I hear the other one literally 2 spaces up the road is good?
