Hi guys..
Want to get my alloys sorted. Can't justify dropping a grand on 18's as I've still got plenty of life in the tyres and really need to think about saving for my final year, but my 17's are the only area of the exterior which isn't pretty much mint - light scratches where they have been curbed, bit of corrosion from brake dust, that sort of thing.
Would like to get them looking brand new again.
Whats the best way to go about this? Saw another 530 Sport on a forecourt the other day and the wheels, although identical to mine, looked fab - more of a silver finish than mine. Would getting the wheels powder coated in silver be worth doing? Dad had this done on his bike in Gunmetal and the results were great BUT his wheels were mint whereas mine are not - does powdercoating fix blemishes etc as well?
Or should I just get them 'refurbished'? I don't really know an awful lot about this sort of thing as you can probably tell. I also don't really know what I'd do with a car without wheels whilst the work was done.
FWIW, wheels are roughly like this:
Thats the front, after a clean, so as you can see, bit scabby.
Pls help a noob ta
