Kerb scuff repair with tyre on

[developer]

I have some kerb damage on a front wheel thats due for a new tyre (I'll be replacing both fronts).

If I change the tyres can anyone recommend a company that can refurb the wheel after the tyre had been fitted.

I don't have another wheel to use (other than the space saver) to allow the wheel to be refurbed off the tyre, prior to the new tyre being fitted.

Thanks,

Look for somone who can take the tryre off. I used a place in Scunthorpe, who had the car for a day, had the tryres off and did the full bath and refub etc.

Far superior.

It's only minor damage and a standard Sterling Silver painted finish - I wondered if a bit of local surgery could be done like it can with chips?

They wouldnt do just the affected bit they would break the tyre bead to lower it and refurb the full front face. Not worth it, costs nearly as much as a proper refurb and wont last as long. Wait till it is worse or get a proper refurb.

Sensible advice.
