Interesting you say that, Mark. Aside from being hideously expensive, i had a wheel repaired by them after a holden dealership damaged it, and the work was immaculate. I also know BMW dealerships use them, can you give a hint or pm what exactly they've done that's caused you to avoid them?
I'm not doubting your judgement by the way, we all know you're the king of refurb and a wheel whore :lol:

Ain't that the truth...For DIY I think Mark must be number 1?

I know someone who's wheels had gutter marks bogged not alloy welded.

This could have changed possibly or been a one off, but I'll stick to Neway myself....
