Default 850 T-5R Titan Refurb

Some advice please

It's been 50,000 miles and I think its time had my Titans re-furbed

Can anybody suggest a competent practitioner in Surrey who can do the work and who can retain the original "matt" finish the wheels have

I dont want the "glossy" finish I've seen a few times

I thank you

KF

Not quite Surrey, but Spit and Polish in Tonbridge are one of the very best in the country - they will strip and bead-blast the wheels, repair any damage (and I mean ANY damage!) and re-coat them using the original factory process, over-baked etc.

http://www.spitandpolish.co.uk/

I had a wheel done by them and it's at least as good as the originals, and has lasted perfectly over about 8 years so far - still looks like new.

Cheers

You can't go wrong with these
http://www.lepsons.com/
Just google them and see the 1000s of good reviews. They did my Volans and a brilliant job they did too. I think they have a courier service. Well they did in April when I used them.
