Alloy wheel refurbishment

[rv02oao]

I know this is a Chimaera help page, just for once my problem is with my second car, not my 450! - I guess this subject has come up a 100 times before, but please does anyone know of a good, cost effective company to refurbish alloy wheels. I have found plenty of companies who can sort out standard wheels, the type I have a problem with are the 2 piece 'BBS' type fitted to my 96 BMW 5401. These have got very untidy. I have tried taking them apart myself, but run into problems (perhaps someone knows how they come apart?). I have removed all the nuts from the rear of a wheel, only to find the bolts appear to be threaded into the wheel, but with no heads on the front to get hold of. Any help with this topic would be very appreciated. I live near Bracknell - Berks, so if you know of any local companies that would be even better.

Thanks in anticipation.

Have you tried wicked wheels in bagshot, they are part of the Roadwheel company (tyre +Exhaust) and specialise in this kind of thing I think.

You're in luck! WHEELS and KNACKERED WHEELS !! should help.
