V8S wheels

[apv]

Just brought a V8S, wheels could do with a bit of TLC, anyone know of a decent company that does refurbs at a reasonable price?

[pies]

Which set of wheels ?

[apv]

The standard V8s wheels, highly polish, off set type?

[pies]

Wellcome to PH by the way

P.S there is nothing standard in TVR

My wheels are those in picture B, mine have small black specks just under the surface of the lacque, it's my thought that a could refurb company could polish these out?

Yep same wheel as the majority of the S2/3's have. Carry out a check/do a search of the back posts in the S forum, a few people have had these refurbished.

Nice one Pies... was going to post the same thing. Very happy with the results... took about a week, but the car is for a few other things at the same time though.

I have both A & B.Not decided which Iprefer yet

[pies]

Think i prefer D, i have B but think i might get some of either A or D

if A, B used for good weather
if D, B used in winter

[pies]

I got my wheels refurbished 13 months ago by B.J. Vallack Engineering near Hemel Hempstead. Wheel refurbishment is their only business, and IMO their prices are very competitive (listed on the site).

I went for a powder coated finish for ease of maintenance (more details on my profile), but they also do a diamond cut (the original finish). If you're within about a 40 mile (IIRC) radius of Hemel they do a free collection and delivery service too.

I've been very pleased with the finish, and the wheels still look as good as they did when I got them back.

I am thinking about putting mine into (I assume) Renowheel(?) in the not too distant future.
Were you pleased with the results?
Any chance of any before/after photos?

I have B on my V8S, but they are pitted too. I once valeted a car with D, which proved to be a right pain in the arse. The boss got me to clean every hole with a small bottle brush (sadistic git).
