Unhappy

I've jst managed to curb one of my P1's 18's. Its not that bad, but bad enough to nearly reduce me to tears!
Have anyone had their anthracite wheels reconditioned, and been happy with the result?
Personally i can't see that they can be repaired that easily, without it being visible, but i'd love to be proved wrong.

Another thing. Are the 18" versions of the P1 OZ's titanium?

I did the same on one of my P1's 17's. Know how you feel. Slight damage, but was told by a couple of people you couldn't put the transfers back on (not sure if this is true or not!)

Ended up buying a new wheel (which is still in it's box co I'm scared to put it on!!)

Cheers

Cool

You can get alloys re-furbed. Basically they grind out the kerbing marks, fill and respary the wheel. If you pay a bit extra you can get the stickers to.

Oh, and the wheel isn't made of titanium, although some describe the colour as such.

Cheers guys.

I thought the wheels being Titanium was a bit far fetched.

Lepson wheels in Rainham Kent can do a refurb for £35 a wheel.

They can also straighten buckled wheels and reweld cracked alloys.
