Anyone know anything about repairing forged wheels?
Excuse the dirty wheel pic. |
I'm afraid that's a difficult one. I had a big off on the motorway and destroyed one wheel and scratched two up pretty bad. The problem is the smoked lacquer (you have bi colours right?)
After ordering one new wheel I went to the alloy refurb shop, they said that all four would have to be done as the match wouldn't be perfect. So I got four redone and the end result was poor. The consistency of the smoked clear coat was poor, very patchy and lots of dark spots.
If you can get a new wheel, not cheap but the only way it'll be perfect again. |
This. I ended up replacing the wheels I damaged on my F80. Price was painful.
