I've used SEM and your wheels look brand NEW when they are done.

I just refurbed my 17" Speedline ST2's myself, they came up like new, I went down the route of getting them sand blasted (£30) and preparing and painting with a Spray Gun. Whole job cost about £60!! Better than the £200+ quote I got from a wheel refurb joint!!!!
I'll post some fotos of the results when I get a minute!!
