Evening all.

Would anyone have a recommendation for a wheel refurbishment company around Nottinghamshire?
Slight curbing the other day and i've only done 500 miles from new cry

I'd touch that up with a bit of lacquer myself if it was mine. Alternatively there is a really good wheel refurb place in Derby if you are willing to travel a little further than Nottingham. Diamond Alloys in Stores Rd, Derby DE21 4BE. Fully refurbed my 2005 Subaru alloys to make them look brand new.

Likewise. Bear in mind you can only skim so much off the surface, so I'd wait until they really needed it.

It's annoying as he'll.

As others have said though, put a bit of touch up lacquer over it (small brush from halfords). That'll stop corrosion taking hold.

Treat it as a reason to be more careful and give it a few weeks and you won't worry about it.

It’s so annoying when that happens on a new car. I’d give myself another few months before getting that sorted. Sod’s law says you’ll get it fixed and then kerb it again a week later. Set yourself a fixing date of, say, six months in the future. In the meantime, as others have said, touch up the clear coat to protect it. In six months time you’ll either still want to fix it or not be that fussed any more - or possibly have lots more to fix at the same time!

When you need it, another vote for The Wheel Specialist in Lenton. Don't go to Total Wheelworks or whatever they're called on Little Tennis Street, had two goes at my alloys before I gave up with them.

I used the wheel specialist in Fareham and they were exceptional, great quality and reasonably priced.

If you do decide to get it repaired at some point in the future I can highly recommend

https://www.paintchiptechniques.co.uk/alloy-wheel-... in Mansfield

I've been using them for many years whether it's wheels or bodywork that needs attention and always very happy with the results

Another vote for The Wheel Specialist (Chester - branch). Excellent work and excellent customer service.

But, as others have said, wait a bit.
