Is this kind if alloy wheel corrosion repairable with a refurb?

Never had a wheel like this before, where you can see the actual alloy inside/under the paint, rather than very light surface corrosion or worming. I suppose they are 15 years old though.

I only noticed as the winter wheels are on and the back summer wheel look like this.

Will a refurb sort it?

Cheers

Yes they will refurb okay - but the corrosion looks quite advanced, expect some noticeable pitting once they’re stripped and blasted to clean metal.

Looks like where the coating/paint has failed (damaged) - probably when tyres have been fitted/old weights removed etc.
