Micheldever Tyres - just over the border in Hampshire. Not too far perhaps?

Hi Mike, if you take the wheels to DTS (Discount Tyre Service) in Worthing (down the side of Blockbuster video) then they can send them off to 'Spit and Polish' who are alloy wheel refurbishers over in Tonbridge. They are quite well known and have done a couple of wheels for me last year. Can't remember the cost now though. Think they pick up on a Tuesday/Thursday and then get returned a couple of days later.

DTS Tel :01903 203477

Good place to get your tracking done too as they were recommened by three different people who are all in the trade, bloke who does it owns a Cerbera too thumbup

When you get them refurbished are you getting a 'wet paint' finish or are you going to a powder coated finish that will be a duller look?

I would like to keep them the colour and look that they are. I only need one of them refurbed. What do you suggest to keep the original finish?

The original finish is the wet look. You will need someone with a good range of colours to find one that matches. You may want to do the two on one side if close matching is difficult.

Have a word with "Wicked Wheels" they have people all around the country, in Merc vans and they come to you, whether you are at work or at home, all they need is a plug socket and they do it all for you.

They are very good, and quite reasonable and they can re-paint your alloys whatever colour you want, or match the existing colour.

I tried wicked wheels but they told me they didn't cover my area.
