I want to get my 17"OEM wheels refurbed. I do not want anything fancy, I just want them back to standard. Where is the best place to go.

I am based in West Berks.

TIA

Hi,

I have just had a second set of 05 wheels refurbed at a company called Rim-Tec. They are based in Meopham Kent (Near the Station).

They are not fronted by a swanky shop front as they are on a tucked away industrial estate but they do come well recommended, which I can now endorse.

Actually I'm considering similar - found a place in Tewkesbury via Google (http://www.reinventingthewheel.co.uk/) but haven't got round to doing anything about it yet.

I have used lap-tab for some Lotus Esprit wheels, they did a very very good job but I am not sure of the current price they charge.

They are just off the M6 in Birmingham.

Quentin Willson seemed to like them!
