Dealer wheel refurb

[Mr Whippy]

4k miles is like 4 months for most people doing average mileage though.

In 2 years I'd done six times that and mine looked much tattier than 2yr old/24k mile old OEM alloys would normally do.

Thanks Sae. Grey wheels on a grey car was a bit risky but the contrast is just about enough.

Be careful. Lloyd's BMW did my 224s when I bought it they did the outside not the inside loads of overspray. Look good from the outside just wish they had done it properly

Same here. Sytner repaired two of mine prior to me buying it. It was only after I'd bought it and took them off to clean the inside and wax them that I discovered that they had done a good job on the outside but had sprayed over dirt and brake dust on the inside instead of cleaning it before spraying.

I'd recommend a dedicated wheel refurbisher every time.

I've just bought a Mini countryman, did the same as you and they had not even clean the inside so all the overspray caked the brake dust onto the inside of the wheels. Called the dealer (mini main dealer) told them I wasn't happy and it looks like they are going to re-do them.......we'll see
