Alloy wheel treatment
Just got some old but servicable minilite sytle alloys to put on Lucy (my 4yr olod locost). Paint on alloys looking a bit taty. Anyone got any advice
on whether it's ok to shotblast then repaint alloys, and if so can recommend anybody in the south west (Salisbury/Bristol/Yeovil/Poole area) to do
it?

Wicked Wheels are the guys to speak to. They're in West London but they do mail order. Friend of mine had a set of Wolfrace wheels refurbished by
them and they looked good as new. £100 for a set of four though so depends on your budget.

Shotblasting sounds drastic on alloy, isn't there some kind of paintstripper to do the job?
