Update, just been mooching around on BJV's web site, they will collect and deliver back for £20 minimum of 4 wheels |

I went into some detail before having 4 x Q7 wheels tyres off fully refurb'd (loads of research on forums including Detailing World UK in particular).

Thanks for the link Miggit, I'm thinking of getting my wheels refurbished & will give them a try as they look good & are local to me |

No problems for that, I hate to see people being ripped off, BJV are one of a few companies who specialise in wheel refurbishing, and are the only one's that I know of in the Home counties. If you pay a garage in hertfordshire to refurb your wheels, they will either go to BJV or a mob up my way (Woburn Sands). Know the quality of their work, Living on top of the Woburn Sands, I'd send mine to Flaunden |

If your looking to make the rim and face of the wheels silver, then you want to have them Diamond cut. This will remove the black and expose the silver alloy underneath, they then clear coat the wheel to stop it corroding. But as this is done on a large lathe, they can only do the face and not for example in between the spokes. If you really want the rim polished, to a mirror finish, they will need to see a metal polisher, and depending on how old and the condition of the black, they still might need to be re-coated.
