Need my wheels refurbing, 19" sports pack, so currently diamond cut but lots of spidering under the lacquer (assuming there's lacquer on them?), was thinking about getting them refurbed soon anyway, then curbed one of them whilst negotiating tight parking spaces around Lake Como last month (1st world issues I know). So now really need to get them done.

Will probably go down the route of powder coat rather than diamond cut, as I reckon these only lasted 12 months before corroding. Would be interested to see any pics of powder coat versus diamond on the sports pack wheels.

Also looking for a recommendation, I just called Rim Stock but they don't do joe public refurbs anymore. They suggested a company in Wolverhampton, but I've just read a bad review on them. I've also had personal bad experience of the UK's leading experts in Milton Keynes. So looking for a company that get's it right first time every time. Ideally somewhere near Sheffield, but willing to go further afield for a proper job.

Thanks Flugz, that photo of the wheels hanging up looks deceptive, I thought they were still diamond turned.
I think I want to keep the look of the original but without the hassle of the diamond turned finish. anyone done his with the sports pack wheels?

Cheers Rog, sounds just the ticket. As Pete said, be interesting to know if they do it in house?
Close enough to me to pop down for a look.
