 | This 
                  option does not involve splitting the rim and alloy centre but 
                  fine grit blasting the wheel to bare metal to remove corrosion 
                  from the chromed steel rim, repairing any kerb damage, filling 
                  any areas where corrosion has been removed, applying the self-etching 
                  primer which is baked in a low bake oven, and then the wheels 
                  are flattened down to create a smooth surface. The wheels are 
                  top coated and lacquered with a durable Polyurethane silver 
                  coloured paint and clear coat. The result is a smooth, polished 
                  finish which is durable, lasting for many years. These refurbished 
                  wheels can only be distinguished from the original chromed rims 
                  from a relatively close inspection. 
 It's not an original chrome finish but it looks very good. Also 
                  at around £85 a wheel it's 
                  an option that is very good value for money. See 
                  our illustrated report with a link to the Solent Wheels website.
