The wife.....BLESS HER?????......lol
Didn't talk to mine for nearly a week when she did mine.
Have you tried putting "alloy wheel refurbishment" or something of that nature into your browser rivs?
Probably ur best bet...there's plenty out there....depending on how bad it is it'll probably set you back around £50 to repair to as new condition mate.
I know, I did all four just when we bought the car............few months down the line, front two need repaired...ARRRGGGGGGG

After never repairing an alloy wheel in my life I have just about finished my set of 5.The total cost to refurb all 5 was £35 inc paint/lacquer/filler/sand paper/blocks etc. Kwik Fit comes to my work a couple of times a week so getting tyres on/off wasnt a problem (I give him old knackered alloys from accident damaged cars which he weighs in for scrap in return for fixing our punctures and getting tyres on and off).I will post pics before Harewood next weekend when I fininsh the last one showing the before/during/after pics of the refurbing.

Cool Buck..........I'd be interested to see pics as well as a full run down too. Its somethin I may have to look at as I can't afford to be refurbing alloys every five minutes after she's been out in the car!
