Default Can I get one of my OZ's repaired ??

I need on of my 19" OZ leggeras fixed.
It has a small dent and a scuff on the rim.
They seem to have a painted finish on them, not a powder coating.
I dont want to do both wheels on the same side just so they match up the same, I just want to do the one wheel.
Somewhere must be able to match the finishes exactly??

Anyone had this done or have a recomended place??

Thanks in advance

Most wheel retailers have the facilty to send away wheels for repair normally about £50 a wheel.
One thing to bear in mind tho is that the wheel will more than likey come back a slighty diff shade to you existing 3 wheels, if you want a perfect match you will need to send all 4 wheels at once.

I sent of one gold wheel with the paint code, and it came back a slighty diff shade to the rest, sent it away again with another wheel to get them to match it. All the could do was ther best which still didnt exactly match. So all 4 at once is the only way to ensure they match

I've used spit and polish in Tonbridge. Prices start at £23 per wheel.

Thumbs up

Little knocks in Uxbridge will be able to do it they did 3 of my gold STI rims and 1 of the Oz ones of my P1 and got the paint match exact looked like new when they had finished. They all own scoobies and are enthusiasts, can't reccomend them highly enough. Do a search for them on here and you will see many people agree with me.
