Re: Alloy cutting refurb companies
The problem will be the little lip at the edge, companies will be worried about the accuracy needed to machine that without making it too thin.
Are they defo beyond stripping and polishing like you would a Fuchs?

Front faces are fine but the rears are quite corroded which is the concern

Re: Alloy cutting refurb companies
How about ceramic polishing them? Might get you most of the way there with a lot less material removal...
