Hi can anyone reccomend anyone

emailed a few companies regarding welding up some centre cap holes
building up the edge of the rim and re machineing some slot mags

nobody bothers replying as usual

so before i start my ring round

anyone know anywhere happy to pull out some centre cap self tappers cut out the grot Tig weld up the holes

and also while welder in hand tig up the kerbing marks to the edge of the rim all cosmetic welding is areas unlikly to be considred load supporting

them stick it on a lathe and make em look new. i.e couple thou off each face

no coating no painting not buckeled or bent
want machined look and i'll apply the Gibbs

south West london if possible


price is obvioulsy important don't want to be spending more than it would cost just to get a new wheel....ideally a bit less

most places seem to quote on their sites about £200-300 a set of 4

trying to avoid the mobile, and halfords like, buff it and paint it guys beacuse this won't buff out and i don't want em painted

sympathetic tig welder with a big lathe?
