Have a look on Google for Prestige alloys.

Or there's Pristine:

I'm gonna get them to sort mine out when I need new tyres (half tempted to just get the new alloys sorted when I get new tyres sorted as it's easier!)

Hi there

Just had the alloys refurbed on my GS300, used a company called Car Medic, might be a franchise in your area, used google for search. Cost me £100.00 to do all five just to ensure colour match was same on all.

Did a mint job wheels are as good as new.

Were they ones with diamond cut faces like the 9 spoke on the GS sport? I looked up some refurb places and they don't seem keen to do the diamond cutting again cos if they need to take off too much metal it will weaken the wheel!

Has anyone else come across this problem?

All the corrosion on mine is on the diamond cut faces, not the painted part. There doesn't seem much point in refurbing them if they can't be re-cut...

i am gonna be sending my wheels to "spit and polish" in tonbridge, kent.

They are the best around. They acid strip them, repair and reshap any dents/problems. Primer seal the alloy. Powder coat to your colour, then clear powdercoat it to seal it in. for a full set of 17" rims its £51 per wheel. But remember powdercoated rims are super strong!
