Refurb on C63s Edition 1 Wheels
Guys
Some advice and guidance needed.
Has one has success in refurbishing edition 1 alloy wheels? If so which company (in the UK) have you used?
I took out Alloy Insurance (not with Mercedes) and after curbing my wheels last week, they have advised me that their authorized repair representative cannot refurbish the wheel due the red lining on the rim. Does anyone have a recommendation of company that could do this OR would I need to goto Mercedes.
Thanks

C63 W205 Edition 1
The Edition 1 wheel is worth $2200 Canadian and it I tried to get one from Mercedes for 3 months until I told them to pound sand. Ended up using green's wheel repair and the wheel is perfect.
If you can't find a place in the UK, you have two options... send it to Green's, the shipping and I bet you're into if for $500 CAD, or carefully smash your rim a little more
and then... I won't say the rest.

Try Lepsons based in Gillingham, Kent. They do a good job and your can send your wheel to them.

Subscribed to this. You cannot truly repair "Forged" wheels. They will put them on the lathe and grind off the scuffs but the AMG logo will get ground down with it. I hope I'm wrong but after attempts on my W204 507 wheel I think not. Don't get me wrong, they will look better without the scuff, but they will not look like the wheel on the other side of your car anymore. This is all separate from the color and the striping. I'm solely talking about the shape of the wheel. Hope others have some input

My MB dealer did mine and the finish is no longer the same. It’s less glossy, more matte. The color matches still but the texture of the finish isn’t OEM. I always notice it when I go to wash my car but visually from a few feet away you can’t tell. Definitely prefer the OEM glossier finish though!
