Hi guys, I'm a new C5 owner from Glasgow. My wheels are a mess and I'm getting mixed messages from refurbishment companies regarding whether or not they can strip them etc.
I *think* the wheels are chrome plated which I'm told by some companies, can be stripped, repaired and painted in a colour of my choice. Others are saying that these companies are wrong because the standard stripping agents won't work on chrome plating.
I'm left considering simply buying a set of new wheels but my Google searches aren't proving fruitful when it comes to UK suppliers of non-chrome/ non chrome plated wheels. I'm happy to stick with the front 17 and rear 18 inch set up currently on the car.
If anyone's on Instagram, I post up pics at mr_glasgow84
Thanks in advance,
Martin
