they were very badly curbed, b4 & after

Mine are 100 times worse than that :( .... ill post some pics..

i hope i wont have to buy new rims as shes a strosek and the wheels will be bloody mental money! :cry:

i remember seeing a site in the uk somewhere showing a big deep dish alloy totally ripped in half nearly but they can repair it, just do a google search plenty of sites availlable, nice new zed by the way really good looking

as you can see they are quite deep (the one in the pic isnt to bad)

A good wheel refurber will be able to fix anything so long as it isn't structurely dangerous. Pristine repared this one and it had a big chunk missing

What did that wheel repair cost mark? + ...without repair what would the refurb have been?

 

I have 4 similar split rims to refurb at the moment and it's looking at about £130 a wheel for what i want to do (dip strip, sandblast, and polish the inners Gunmetal, and strip and polish the rim like yours...)

Had those done at Pristine and they charged £320 for all 4 including repairs to 3 wheels, but these are just 2 piece. However I think the guy that did Funki Si's wheels did a better job than Pristine.

Cheers Mark. Will speak so Si as he's just across the bridge from me!

One thing Pristine have in there favour is they have a collection and return service through Dealer networks. ie They may havbe someone up your neck of the woods.

 

If you do use Pristine then hears a bit of Advice. Speak to Pristine first and tell them exactly what you want and what damage needs reparing and get a price from them. Then go to the dealer and when they quote you the price +there large cur you can say sorry I spoke to Pristine and they Quoted me the figure they did. That would have been without ship and return, but keep haggling and you'll get loads knocked off.

 

Good luck
