Diamond Cut Alloy Wheel Repair Help

Post by TheBartman » Thu Oct 08, 2015 8:51 pm

I had the pleasure of a girl pulling out on me, I swerved to avoid and belted a kerb!  :'(

Can anyone recommend someone who can do a perfect job on my wheel please? (Pictures attached)

Where abouts in the country are you based? Someone near you might be able to recommend somewhere that they have used. I know of a wheel refurbishment place in Middlesbrough who have a good reputation.

I'm over in the North West.

Would love to hear from someone who had similar done on one of these wheels.

Worried it might be a bit to deep. Believe it needs to be Diamond Cut too.

Hi and welcome to the forum
I always use AWR in Bury Lancs. give them a ring and maybe email your photos to them to see what they can do for you.
They have a web site too, maybe worth a look. They are always busy, which is a good sign

If you are north west, the Wheel Repair Centre - Bamber Bridge (Preston) is the place! Have a look at some of the reviews... http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=1174643
