bourne powder coaters 0121 666 6595
wheel specialist/laptab
city powder coaters - these guys have some nice powder colours!!
sweenyeysherlock
theres quiet a few in west mids.
where in west mids are you?
there is one in bordesley green off garrison lane (ventia rd) there are some red gates opp cambabest (builders yards) just go straight through the red gates to the top and you will have a garage named motor mechanic turn right and at the ends is the place your looking for.

or google it

EDIT: laptab/wheel specialist is expensive. ask around

searches found all these: http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&cp=24&gs_id=28&xhr=t&q=powder+coating+wheels+birmingham&pf=p&sclient=psy-ab&source=hp&pbx=1&oq=powder+coating+wheels+bi&aq=0&aqi=g1g-v1g-b1&aql=&gs_sm=&gs_upl=&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=808eee0266b44180&biw=1280&bih=661

Cheers Sharki786.

I'm from dudley area, been asking around, as really don't want to lose the polished lip, which one company said would happen because of them being fake splits.

Think I may just get the dremel out and put up with a slight dent in the rim.

There'll be plenty of that, but will def have to dremel first, nasty gouge  :cry:

I was hoping to find someone who tig welds, so they could build it back up before refurbing  :undecided:

Its a bit of a treck but Chartwells in Derby are a mint repairers. I used them to paint my mirror caps black on my Sciroco and my bro has used them for a wheel repair on a polished wheel.
