I need to find a firm that will beadblast and lathe-turn a set of 15" wheels and re-lacquer them without me having to drive half a dozen hours to get to them.

Thanks Hotcoupe

Gave Wicked Wheels a call today and they seem to come a cross as quite knowledgeable.

I have the BMW, Star spoke - style 230

Attachment 118751

One thing is kind of odd though, they said that these particular BMW wheels that I have are quite difficult to colour finish match when repairing. Something to do with the colour and liquid finish of the 19” wheels.

Is anyone aware of some of the BMW wheels being particularly difficult to colour match when repairing?

The dealer curbed one of my 225M's last week so they took it in for a repair job - colour match is perfect and I can not spot where the repair was done!

Not sure where your based SoYank, but I've used these Guys before.I sent a set of wheels up by courier, they done the business (refurbed 4 x MV2's), within a week and sent them back.

Really professional outfit and the repairs and finish was excellent.

My local BMW dealer has a "Smart repair" service. They do wheels,dents etc and I'm sure most BMW dealers have them aswell?

They do a fantasic job and it's not expensive either.
