you can't easily refurbish O4 / 05 wheels due to the way they are finished. The refurb process relies on being able to fill the marks and respray the wheel.
The polished finish is immpossible to match.
Best to have the re-finished and powder coated in a cool colour.

All four of my '04 wheels have been kerbed, I was hoping I could get them refurbed, but if what you say is true, there's no danger of that
Looks like I'll have to get them refinished and powder coated.

I'm rubbish with Paint Shop, but I'm handy enough with Photoshop

Wonder wheels does honda wheels in a treat according to my missus who is in fleet management. She gave some poor bloke a bo**ocking for using it. He was scared he'd get a bo**ocking for dirty wheels - can't win can you!!

I use Wonder Wheels on my company car
I never let the S wheels get dirty enough to need anything like that!
Pie N Chips had his PCed Anthracite.
There are few pics in the gallery forum of anthracite 04's.
with the comment about PCing rather than just getting another set on warranty.
