Wheel Refurb/Repair in Somerset/Dorset

Recently curbed one of my wheels and am looking for recommendations of a good company that could do a repair in or around Somerset/Dorset. It's 'just' damage to the very outer rim, but looking to get them back to perfect, or as close as possible.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

If it's the 437m then it's going to be difficult. I tried BMW in Plymouth and they wouldn't touch it as they have trouble getting the black tint right for the lacquer to match the other wheels. They did offer to do the 2 wheels on one side but I decided against it. Ended up finding a new wheel off eBay which I haven't fitted yet, waiting for Spring now. Best price on a new wheel from a dealer was about £650 down from £1k!

Hi Phil, it is the 437M and I did have concerns that the finish wouldn't be perfect, but I assumed the cost would be considerably less than a new wheel and as such, though I could at least try it, although it sounds as though it might not be worth it!

Hopefully someone might come up with a decent repairer. I managed to find a wheel for £350 on eBay so worth keeping an eye out.
