Alloy Wheel Refurb Needed.
Hi guys, just bought one of my favorite RX7's back that i sold last year. The guy paid me £14,000 (cost almost £50k to build in all) and then decides he can't afford to run it and leaves it out in all weathers for the last 8 months 
The carbon bonnet has faded quite badly but worse of all is the 19" Veilside wheels that cost £3000 secondhand have coroded quite badly with large amounts of paint missing on the centres.
I usually use a local bodyshop but i'd like these splitrims taken apart, powder coat or spray the centre and the have the chrome lips polished back as new.
Who would you guys use? If possible i'd like to use someone fairly locally to me and hopefully someone some of you have used.
Many thanks!
Dave.

Dave, I would speak to APS Alloy Wheels in Swansea - give Steve a ring on 07747 443214. He does a cracking job and has refurbed 2 sets of alloy wheels for me.

the wheel specialist in Cwmbran, powdercoating and paint finishes, friend has used them and the quality was awsome..as for the polished edges, if they are apart Caefilly metal polishers will refinish the rims. Again quality work
