Does anyone know how to get these repaired - best place and cost? It's the 20" diamond cut wheel...

Hi - if you are anywhere near Peterborough call Chris at Peterborough Trim Repairs www.peterboroughtrimrepairs.co.uk

It's my father and brother that run a car body shop - do lots of wheels, including diamond turned ones, and are used to high end stuff

I bring back my 1M wheels from Switzerland to get them done

Cheers

Not sure - I guess at least a couple of days,, but they have sets of loan wheels for most cars.

Lepsons in Kent are the market leaders in diamond-cut wheel refurbs and I believe BMW UK actually use them rather than doing things in house because they're that good.

I've 2 now that need doing. Rear offside was hit by a car last year that jumped traffic lights & did a runner (grazed 1/3rd of the wheel & some of the wheel arch area of the rear bumper). The 2nd was my fault as touched a kerb with the front nearside whilst parking & having a tantrum at the same time.

Mine are the standard 19"s & i was told due to them being diamond cut the cost would be well over £100 per wheel so for now i'm gonna leave it as not worth getting just 2 done & i'll probably wait for another to get damaged & then have all 4 darkened to nearer black.

If anyone can recommend a quality outfit in the North West it would be appreciated??

I had my 3 of my 19's done at http://www.topcoat-bodyshop.co.uk/ in Halifax. A place the wife found whilst working up there. You'd never tell any difference between them and the fourth and if irrc cost was well under £200.

Sytner's new state of the art Nottingham body shop said there was no chance in matching shadow chrome and advised to get them all done the darker colour of the M135!

I've just done the same myself on the diamond cut 20" so bloody annoyed with myself I've only had it 4 weeks!

I wouldn't, they're no where near as good as they used to be. Piss poor is probably more accurate. In the south east I think Lepsons is a better bet.

They've just refurbished my my alloys on my CLK63 I can't fault them I've used them on a number of occasions also Lepsons let me down once I wasn't impressed with the finish & was then told that's the best they'd be sent the wheels to spit & polish which got me the results I was looking for.

But each to their own

Thanks guys - I didn't realise that Spit & Polish was for real...
