Got wheels that need refurbishing, but alas 11 companies ive contacted have declined ! why may you ask ? Diablo wheels are three piece split rims, but they secure together with the bolt straight into the wheel, not a nut like most others, chances are they said that one or two could snap off and then need drilling out and rethreading.

So can one help ?

I've just this very day had 2 of the titanium Callisto split rims on my Gallardo sorted after a too close expierance with a curb.

These were the guys I used and they are excellent, I am a right fussy deveil and it's a superb job, very reasonable too.

Plus really good guys!

They also do minor body work, trim, leather and fabric repairs etc, very impressive.

Very disapointed with my Testa wheels which got done at Lepsons-since they have gone "large" quality has dropped somewhat to when I got my grale wheels done.

Have you tried Performance Wheel Supplies Ltd: www.pwsukdirect.com

They did my 3 piece Countach wheels (before I bought the car so I’ve not had any contact with them myself). I believe they sub contracted the job to a specialist company in Germany. £1800 (including VAT and delivery) for 4 wheels so not cheap but they did do a very good job.

£1800 yikes

Getting my 2 Gallardo Callisto rims done was £70 a wheel with the colour matched.

It was just scuffed rims though but still!

They will do complete refurbs, and will do them any colour you like..

Adrian let us know how you get on, as I have a couple that I am loathe to bin if you can find someone who will look at split rim wheels.

Maybe I got them on an off-day but they didn't make a good job of my split-rims, and they hadn't tightened all the bolts up properly. frown

I had my aston xpack wheels done there -- disappointing -- lacquer lifting off in large lumps after a few months.
