Alloy refurb in the south?

Hi guys,

My alloy wheels are in need of some TLC!

Can anyone recommend a refurbishment place anywhere in the Sussex area? (I'm in Hove, to be exact)

Many thanks!

Not sure but chipsaway do wheels if they arnt that bad. If they are bad then you'd obviously need a specialized place, sorry i cudnt help with that tho.

I don't think it's the type of job Chipsaway are up to, I need my split rim wheels polished...
Why is it that there are dozens of companies 400 miles away but none within that radius?!

Probly busy. I know very few firms do split rims as they are very time consuming and also when they take them appart to refurb sometimes they dont always go back as they should. Also they need the rims up to 5 days.
Thats what i read on a couple of other car forums.

Good luck anyway!
