Default Wheel refurb question

Having just scrapped a rear rim whilst on the channel tunnel I am considering getting it refurbed. However all the refurb posts I have seen are for wheels that have been changed from the oem design, still oem wheels but just painted or something.

What I am wondering is can have a wheel refurbed back to the original look?

Or am I better just buying a new wheel?

Cheers

Its much cheaper to refurb the wheel as opposed to replacing it. A replacement wheel will cost around £300 each whereas a refurb will cost from £40-£60 per wheel

Yes! Try Prestine wheels. Best to shop around as Prestine are expensive but they do a good job.

As you're in Kent you should pop over to Lepsons in Gillingham they do amazing work and can make your wheel as new if not better.

Lepson's could well be the best and will be able to match the colour of the other wheel's

Sorry about the !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You'll notice I asked a question on that thread about just having the rim Diamond Cut refurb, no response yet, but is that what you're looking for?

PS Nice colour Nurby
