Default Wheel Refurb ??

No idea which thread/forum to put this in - so whoever is in charge - please feel free to move it.

I need to get my wheels refurbed (they are absoloutley buggered) i dont wanna get new ones - cos i like the ones i've got (Prodrive PFF7's).

So... does anybody know of or used a good (mobile) company that can refurb my wheels, need a mobile one cos i cant really be without my car for a couple of days.

Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.

had mine refurbished last year - i bought a spare set and dropped them off to a guy in canvey island (essex) who powder coated them for me. much better job than spraying and i still have the originals....why don;t you consider the same route?

ps - give us a clue where you are and you're more likely to get a helpful response from someone local to you

Aye - that would help would'nt it - am in North West (Merseyside).

Cheers - but i dont really wanna have to buy a spare set.. if the only way to get it done properly is to take it to the workshop then i'll just have to do that.

Have seen a few on the t'internet that do mobile repair 'Fenwicks, Wicked wheels, etc' are these any good or are they a load of kak like chipaway !
