Wheels on Dads CLS are getting picked up on monday to get refurbed, in the meantime I've cleaned up the bolts & sprayed them.
I will post before & after pictures next week when the wheels arrive back.
These guys are doing the job...

Had the alloys refurbished at Derby Alloys and fitted some 20mm hubcentric rear spacers made by Bimecc with longer bolts. Rears are now in line with the fronts and fill the arches properly. No wheel wobble or adverse effect felt so far...

Hi all. I'm looking into getting the AMG III wheels on my wife's 2005 sports coupe done soon at BJV. Firstly, could anyone who has used them give me some feedback please good or bad? Secondly, I was looking at the option of having them done in black chrome for a change, the car is silver, would...

Done some serious damage to my winter wheels ( A43 at Silverstone ) and found a dealer in Northampton who claims he can make them as good as new for less than the price of 1 alloy.
Whilst there I happened to mention my pet hate of cleaning alloy wheels and he said that I should get my summer...
Has anyone used Rimtech wheel refurbishers in Kent recently?
I have used Lepson's in Kent, and they were excellent. But I have no experience of Rimtech.
They are a tad cheaper you see....(£275 inc vat), but I'll pay the Lepsons price (£360 inc vat for 4 x 19" alloys with tyres on) if...
I know the topic of who's best to use for refurbishing alloys has been posted a few times...

Hi can anyone recommend a good alloy wheel refurb outfit that also do diamond cut alloys. I am in the north west. If anyone has had any done I wouldn't mind knowing how much the cost was.
Hi All,
Thought I'd say what a great service I've had from S.E.M Alloy wheels in Sunderland.
Not the Merc this time (although I had my E500 wheels refurbed their a few years back), but my S-Max 18" Alloys.
I needed new tyres and they were looking quite sorry for themselves being the...
Alright guys. Trying to source a few pics so my Uncle can get his alloys refurbed but hes unsure which colour he is going to do for.
He has the w203 c class in silver. I cant remember the name of the colour. I believe its something like cubanatic or something like that (forgive me if im way...
I thought I'd share some of the work I've done so far on the SL.
I bought the car as a daily driver. I was bored of modern cars that I couldn't tinker with, so wanted something that while strucutrally sound, could be improved.
So it started.......
Jet wash of the engine bay using Bilt...
