refurb

Just wanted to throw a shout out to Pristine Wheels, who refurbed one of my C63 19" wheels and did an epic job. They collected the wheel, refurbed it and returned it, for £111.60. Pics below:- Absolutely no affiliation with them at all, just really impressed with the job they did :bannana:

OK so my W208 is now fully sorted thanks to Olly and the team at PCS (see separate thread) so want to get her back up to scratch cosmetically. Ideally I could do with either a wheel refurb or new wheels. So here's the car on its current wheels, diamond cut monobloc reps. Cost of refurb...

Hi all, I'm asking Lepsons for a quote to refurbish my AMG 2 piece 18 inch split rims. I bought the wheels last year and they have been repainted by the past owner. Does anyone know the original finish? Is it painted face and polished rim or painted face and diamond cut rim, or another...

Hi, Can anyone recommend a good Wheel Refurb / Repair company in either the Dundee area or Teeside area? Just kerbed one of my front wheels avoiding a delivery van! I believe the 18 inch AMG wheels on the E Class sport model require diamond cut repair? Damage is only on the rim edge...

Hi Folks, My CLS multispoke wheels are well overdue a refurbishment, mainly just lacquer peel but they are looking really untidy. They are currently diamond cut but thinking of going for a powder coat finish next time. Anyone recommend a good, sensibly priced place to go in Manchester -...

Hello all. After a bit of help. I've purchased these rims to go on my w210 and wanted to know the best process of refurbing them at home. They have curb damage and the lacquer is peeling.

The blower for the heater on my w124 is in need of love It's won't spin until poss 2 on the switch, and then it sounds ill! I removed it today and it's tight to turn and generally yuk Is there a brush and bearing kit available? The reason I ask is the only replacements I can see are either...

Sorry if this has been done to death but can anyone recommend a good wheel refurb shop close to me (Canterbury Kent) ? Cheers :thumb:

After much searching for replacement wheels I decided to have a go at a refurb myself. A little searching revealed that most scratches can be removed with sanding so I purchased a Halfords set of wet and dry sandpaper, 240, 600, 800 and 1200 grit for £2.99. Some of my scratches were quite bad...

Hi guys and gals, I have a set of the Vito style wheels fitted with winter tyres. They're a bit scaggy but not too bad. Problem is that two of them leak pretty badly, enough to lose 25% of their pressure over a week. Has anybody done a DIY refurb on the inside of the rim where the tyre sits? I...

The MB wheel insurance seems to claim that Diamond Cut wheels will be replaced only, this seems to indicate that repairing them is somewhat difficult or highly expensive. Is it going to be worth my time to get coverage if I expect some damages over a period of 4 years and I plan to return my...

Hi all, After faffing around for months, I bit the bullet and bought a set of the 2 piece split rims for my R129. It has replicas on it at the moment, although came with the originals when sold, so trying to get it back as it was. The wheels seem to be in reasonable condition. I've not...

I decided to smarten up my W210 300td before getting it back on the road. It needed the obligatory new wings, which weren`t much of a problem, and now I`m at the painting stage. What I thought would be the easy bit, ie, gunning them over with some cellulose, is turning into a nightmare. I...

Hi I have to refurb my split rim sl55 amg wheels, they have diamond polished rims. Can anyone recommend a company to do these, I have had problems with some of the wheel refurb companies previously, in the UK please

I bought the car Thursday evening & was determined to make them my first job. Started with 1000 grit wet & dry, followed by 1500 the a final sand with 2000. Polished Meguiars with paint cleaner, the a final rub with Autobrite Cherry glaze polish . Pleased with the results.

Hi all, Just wondered if anyone had any window tinting & alloy wheel refurb places they could recommend in the Essex/East London area? I normally like to go on good recommendations with these sort of things! Thanks

Hi, I have managed to curb one of my alloys on my C Class Coupe. Question is, are they diamond cut alloys or just painted? They are the standard 7 spoke 18" alloys that come with the AMG Sport model. Any help would be great. And if so, any suggestions of anywhere to get them done in the...

Hi New on here, I have 1971 350sl. I am having intermittent problem where engine performance drops and sounds like running on less cylinders, does this for a while then picks up. I have changed plugs, leads etc but it has been suggested that the injectors might need a refurb and are getting...

Hi there, I need to do the brakes on my 1994 E320 coupe. One of the rear calipers is sticking so I need to give at least that one an overhaul. Can anyone please let me know of any hints or tips or literature available. I have a lathe so can put the pistons up and polish them. Thanks for...

These came off my 129. Need a refurb. 4 budget tyres (one needs re-fitting). Decent tread and extra load. 8.5" front, 10" rears. Stunning when on:- Lots of detail pics here:- 129 Wheels Photos by entire54321 | Photobucket Offers (but I won't be giving them away!!).
