Unhappy Damaged Alloy

The NSF alloy on my MY03 WRX has sustained some damage on the rim (Wife + Car Park = scratched alloy!):

- Can i get it refurbished? Or is it best to buy another rim?
- Anyone recommend a place to get the tracking done (properly!) in the Reading area?

Cheers

I haven't used them (yet...) but try speaking with Alexander's bodyshop in Bourne End. They were recommended to me to sort out a minor scrape on 1 of my 18s.

I used them to do my WRX03 wheels charged £50 a wheel. The hardest part was matching the gunmetal colour. After about 10 minutes of trying he got it. From memory he mixed subaru gold with standard alloy colour.Top job done only for me to go and kerb them again a few weeks later DOH!

Chap I used is in west mids

same here, in that snow we had a good month ago, my dad was going around a small rounabout, and the back of the car just went and hit the curb. which has left a rather nice scratch on the left rear alloy - a Gold O.Z. by Prodrive Alloy (UK300 type). and the scratch is right accross the rim logo (Outer edge) How anoying!
+ do not know is the tracking is out.
