Any Good Wheel Refurb Herts/Beds/North London

Yes wheel was damaged in pot hole last week and really want to get it sorted asap. Damage not too bad although I have been getting a screeching sound at low speeds now...

Does anyone recommend any Refurb places?

I might be mistaken but I'm sure I was told by one of the BMW genius guys that the 19" diamond cut wheels could not be repaired if damaged and that's one of the reasons that BMW Wheel Insurance won't insure those wheels!

Can any wheel experts expand on this?

Apparently they are very hard to fix and usually refurb places offer no warranty at all

I have heard some people say however, they have had diamond cut repaired and they have looked original even years after the repair.

Cost of new wheel is £950 of BMW and the refurb is £95. I will take the risk and refurb!
