Wheel strip n dip - recommendations

[fabes]

My 19s are in good nick

But they do have a the odd nick on them, plus the odd inch of curb rash here and there
And the inners are in the usual dark and dirty condition - quite grim actually

Was mulling over a light refurb of all but it might be better to have them fully dipped, the tyres off and whatever treatment would be best.

Not looking to change the colour, I like the bright silver they are, but would appreciate both recommendations on what they would benefit from, and also anyone in the Southampton area I could go to?

Cheers

Those rims are £3.5K new at alloywheelsdirect with their current 30% discount offer. And that's without tyres.

[Spider10]

Absolutely.

Tbh I’d love them. BUT having recently spent £560 refurbing my existing 19” turbines and over £600 in tyres then even extreme man maths doesn’t add up. Had I seen @Spider10 ’s wheels beforehand it would have made sense. Aside from looks they’d be much easier to clean (hate multi spokes for that reason alone).

To add to this I’m really not even sure they’d fit my poverty AMG LINE estate anyhow?

If you haven't already, have a wee keek at Alloy Wheel & Tyre Fitment Calculator. Offset, Tyre Stretch and Speedo Error | Will They Fit
Looks like you might have issues with the backs running close to the struts.
And in answer to fabes original question, personally I'd go for a full fat strip and powdercoat; I've had just the faces refinished before but have never been 100% happy with it. But I am a fussy wotsit.

Some spacers will sort that & give the car a great stance too.
