dumdum49 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Hi Everyone, been viewing on this site for ages and I thought it was time to share and absorb some of the collective experiences on here! I have recently become the proud owner of a MY08 Z and having seen the rims on Zedrush's car I had to get them (sorry to copy dude but they were so nice) only problem is first day I got them I misjudged how much wider they are than my standard rims and have scuffed them. Does anyone know any mobile or local (Ilford area in Essex) alloy repair places that can do the polished rim bit on my beautiful Volks GTS! Thanks in advance and also for all the good posts on here that have shaped how I have purchased and since fitted parts to my car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD7 Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Welcome to the site Not sure how to deal with scuffs as fortunately I haven't experienced it yet but sure plenty of others will be able to help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Hi bud, welcome to the forum. Will move this to the intro section so we can all say Hi. Plenty of owners around there so one will be along with an answer soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev-the-Rev Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Hi and I'm too far away from you to suggest anywhere for you to take your wheels, but there are quite a few members on here from Essex and SE London who should be able to point you in the right direction.

Do you know what the rough cost is per wheel and will they take something like the GT-S apart to do something a little "different"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prescience Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I hope you get sorted - I tried quite a number of highly recommended outfits to sort my SF Challenge (also polished) but with zero success. The best they could offer was a diamond cut which would probably appear dimmed and would require significant and regular attention (from myself)as a result of extra weathering to the repaired area. Make sure you get a guarantee of what the repairers expect to deliver in terms of a repair. Damage to polished rims is not trivial to sort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Welcome mate. Speak to Zedrush. I'm sure I remember he damaged his and had the lips painted with some special super bright silver paint as that was the closest they could get to the original finish. A quick search might turn it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
