I have just bought a Gen 7 Celi
I really like the wheels that its come with, but there a mess, scuffed and scratched curbed etc

My m8 said i can get them refurbed and power coated as i want them black.
Is this true? If so does anyone know of anywhere loacally by me that does this?
Cheers Peeps

I disagree.... whilst the shade of colour might be slightly different the finish is, if done correctly, as good as new

I have direct experience of having 4 wheels refurbed and the finish was superb

3 of my alloys are kerbed damaged many thanks to previous owner

The paint on one of them is chipping off and i want to refurbish them all but don't have a clue on how to do it.
What i know is you have to scrap most of the old paint off use alloy filler to cover up the kerb damage and then sand it down the smooth and then finally paint it or is their something you have to do first like primer or something. I have no clue???

They'll look as good as new and the finish wonlt fail after a few years if powdercoated.

The only wheels that don't tend to look as good as new are the diamond cut ones (like mine
