C63 S AMG coupe
<div class="bbWrapper">Hello folks,<br /> <br /> Has anyone any experience of wheel refurbishment?<br /> I kerbed my front passenger side wheel last weekend. C63s amg coupe. Staggered 19 inch front, 20 inch rear wheels. They are the forged multispoke titanium - colour ones (not the black ones). Have tried to attach a pic. <br /> <br /> Have been informed that the process involves a lathe to skim down the imperfection and then re-lacquer. I have been told it will look as good as new and there is a guarantee that the wheel will not corrode afterwards. <br /> <br /> Has anyone been through this process with their wheels? <br /> <br /> Thanks in advance</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I have yes and they are as good as new, the thing to be aware of is that they can only be done a few (2?) Times because of skimming material from them.</div>

I believe they wanted in the region of £1,800 for them.<br /> <br /> It was an option for me when buying my S205 C63S but I went for the cheaper price with the 19's.</div>
