Default Alloy refurbishment

Made a real mess of my off side rear alloy tonight and I'm still cursing myself!

The other corners all have tiny little scars from the previous owner so I looking on the up side I guess this could be the prompt I've been needing to sort all of them out?

I have 2 questions though, if anyone can help?...

1) Is it sensible to leave tonights 'scar' (just less than a 1/4 of the rim) over the winter and sort it out next year once xmas pressies etc. are out of the way!!? Will they corrode?

2) What should I be looking to pay per individual wheel and for a fully refurbed set?

Any advice welcome.

I battered one of my rear alloys last winter/spring & scuffed over half of the rim. I've left it & no corrosion on it at all.

I'd get them sorted asap, but that is just me.

Lap Tab are highly regarded and in your area IIRC.

They offer discounts to S2KUK Members

You've been away too long - i've bored the world and his wife with pictures of my motor!

And yes, I was a plank with one of my alloys but in my defence, I was trying to avoid a lorry that shouldn't have even been in the lane.

Never scraped an alloy in my life before this car. Most disappointed!
