Badly kerbed wheel - Refurb in edinburgh?

[3pointturn]

I'm annoyed with myself, kerbed the alloy and wheel pretty badly. I'm usually careful as fek, the 18" low profiles make me stay away from kerbs

There was a bloody speed bump right upto the kerb which I hate, my fault but if I'd parked just a foot forward/back it wouldn't have happened.

It's a long deepish scrape on the rim so might need to be built up, are there any places in edinburgh do this work?

Try these guys, I was going to get my wheels done on my last car (before it got pinched) with them but I read good reviews

They powder coated my wheels and done a top job. Highly recommend

Thanks guys, will check them out. I don't have the stomach yet to look at the wheel in the cold light of day

That's good to know of somewhere reasonably local. Mine need done, but I wouldn't go to the last place I went to.

What's the name of the place you used mate?

The problem with thewheelspecialist is it's a bit out of my way and would probably need to get the train back from sighthill
When I saw the wheel today it's not as bad as I thought, still a big unsightly scrape though

I gather you are on the east side of Edinburgh

Yeh down in leith, is that a bad thing?

thought you were maybe through my way (Livingston) as there is a good company through there, nothing wrong with leith

I think the name was Rich Mack in Livingston. Wasn't happy with the finish on the wheels and they used a buzz gun, which stripped the threads on every single nut, requiring one corner to need a new hub.
