Hi, it's time to refurb the spiders on my car.

I contacted someone earlier and they asked if they are magnesium alloy, can anyone advise please (apparently it matters for the stripping process).

no normal aluminium but I would guess that they are all bent so make sure who ever you send the to can straighten buckled wheels properly.

I was talking to him recently and he has had plenty of experience of repairing the chocolate spiders.

Dave - Drop down, if only to pick up your new chest wig for Burghley - seriously I think we have about 35 TVR wheels in prep at present and nearly as many already finished and wrapped up.
