    Any recommended wheel refurb in UK?

    Hi all
    I am near Windsor in the UK and looking to get my R8 V8 wheels refurbed, can anyone recommend a place?
    Had the wheels of my A5 done locally but was not happy with the results.
    Thanks!

    Hi, on the same topic does anyone have the paint code for the titanium wheel finish on the R8. Need to touch in a stone chip. Thanks

    Let me know what they come out at please Ian, i am also interested, however i am not sure if the V10 wheel is to complex in design for a carbon wrap? most wheels you see with this on are quite simple in design i think...?
