Dimwit that I am, managed to reversed the Tam into a kerb today... so annoying, totally avoidable... Any reccomendations on refurbishers in Essex, ideally near Southend?

Rochford Tyres used to refurb wheels. Never used them so cannot comment on quality etc

Depending whereabouts you are in Essex, you could try B.J.V. Engineering. They offer a collection and delivery service within 40 miles of Hemel and would definitely get my recommendation. yes

I used Rochford a while back for a buckled wheel and they were really good.

I used Rochford Tyres some years ago and they did a good job on my 400SE wheels. I have also use The Fullbridge Restoration Company in Maldon for wheel refurbs and bodywork, and I can highly recommend them. They can be contacted on 01621 852320. Good luck!

Not too near Southend but Lloyd Allmark/Premier Autos in Sawbridgeworth (between Bishops Stortford and Harlow).

They have a mobile service (though I don't think they'll come to the seaside for one wheel). I had a full set of Chimaera wheels done last year for £200 so it might be worth you going for a drive.

I was told about this company a while back, haven't used them myself so can't give any kind of recommendation.

...and they definitely wouldn't get mine - see this thread to see the job they made of mine.

Not good! eek They did a great job of powder coating my wheels (which still looked pristine 2 years later when I sold the car) and I know other were pleased with their work, so it's a shame to see them drop the ball like that.
