    Can anyone recommend a firm that can handle the re-furbishment of my 3 piece split rims please?
    I have contacted many companies now and most dont want to touch them as they are - a: too complicated, b: dont have the correct tooling, c: cannot get them to seal. etc,etc.
    I have yet to contact FAW Wheels at West Hampstead as they are now closed for the holidays, but they do say they can do 3 piece split rims and get good reviews.
    Lepsons at Gillingham have looked at them and again say no, sorry!
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    You could try Dick Lovett, Ferrari main dealer. I know they have an in-house facility. Undoubtedly won’t be cheap though. Think they quoted my about double for powder coating normal rims.

    Many thanks, i will contact them in the new year. So far im looking at £1000 to £1200 for reconditioning. Brand new wheels from Scuderia Parts are about £2k each!

    Im based in South Yorks but the car is currently at Bell Sport & Classic who are based just off Jnct 10 on the M1. Greyboxers recommendation of Voodoomotorsport looks promising and they are about 20mins away from BSC! which is a bonus.
    But i am open to all advice, especially if its a known business where other people have had work done and can vouch for quality.
    Cheers!

    Well they look the business!.
    I think the main stumbling point with my wheels is the diamond cut " star section " on the HGTE wheels, for some reason a lot of companies say they dont have the tooling once they see the wheels.
    I will contact BSC on Jan 4th and give them their contact details - thankyou!

    My wheels were the same as HGTE 599 wheels John, only the rims should be anodized silver to be correct, I had mine polished just to be different.
    If they need help, please ask Matt to call me, they have my number.

    Decided to go with Voodoo Motorsport for the split rim refurb, Bell Sport & Classic had also been on the phone to them just before Christmas shutdown.
    Based on the posts and threads on this forum ive also decided to fit new Michelin Pilot Super Sports all round, i simply could not get the power down with the P Zeros fitted.
    Will post some pictures when complete.
