Hey Kev

Great to hear!

If it helps, there's a chap over on the pink forum who has glowing reviews for wheel refurbs - http://www.wheelsbycardhore.co.uk/

Might be useful if you can get hold of a ratty set for reburbishment :)

Good news Kev!


I spoke to James (Cardhore in the link above) about refurbing teardrops at Brands Hatch recently, standard and polished. He can look to do either but for the polished finish he would look at other options rather than diamond cutting. Worth getting in contact with but you'll need to send him some wheels to work with.

Hi Kev, sorry for the blatant flogging but I have a set of teardrops in need of a refurb if you want for £50?

do they have any kerbing? its the rims that are important as the diamond cutting will remove some of the face.
oh do they have tyres? could we meet up on the M4 ?

No tyres I'm afraid. I'll take some pictures today once I've dug them out. I can't meet along the m4, but I'm going to be in London next week if that's any good.

So, I've got them out. They're all fairly straight, no big dents or chunks missing. One has a slightly bent rim and they all have light kerbing flat spots.

watching the new one and thanks for the offer of the 4 but the edges are a bit more chewed than I want.

Isn't mike selling his due to his wider arches needing wider wheels?

just spotted some mk1 wheels which I think is what you want. not sure how you will be able to bid and get them over to the UK. But I am sure there are companies who offer this service.
