M3 Wheel Refurb

[Neil McRae]

I was stupidly not paying attention but managed to scuff my rear wheel. First alloy I've done since 2004

I've got a spare rear wheel to swap on to but just wondered if anyone had their 19s refurbed?

On the old M3 getting them refurbed was non-trivial and many people who had them done ended up with the laquer fading because of the silver finish.

Anyone had them done?

I think BMW does it for about £70
Or I know a few places around here.
You could also call a guy called Dan who will come to you. 07939594008
Explain whats wrong with your wheel first as im not sure wether he could do it or not. He did mine but as you know mine are gloss black.

Yes mate they will come up fine, make sure they can do diamond cut finishing whoever you go to.

Do you not fancy a change of finish say gun metal grey or a satin black?

Think I may be joining you, as I seem to have accumilated one or two little scrapes, much to my annoyance

The best option is to just get the outer edge re machined and polished. This only involves the first 7mm, so the centre spokes remain untouched.

The re machined portion can be masked and lacquered for an almost invisible repair.
