I bought a set of BBS racing wheels with gold centres from (Gert) Carnewal last June. However they are suffering from the rigors of the last winter
and I’m having some corrosion problems. Primarily it's the rims that are corroding but I also noticed this weekend that the gold coating is lifting around one of the dummy centre caps. The rims seem to be resisting all attempts to clean them.

Gert has suggested that many UK customers get their BBS racing wheels anodised to protect them better. Does anybody have any recommendations on somebody who could refurbish these wheels and, perhaps, anodise them to avoid this becoming a recurring issue. I'm based in Andover and work in Reading so someone in one of those areas would be great.
 
Adrian rowlands should be able to treat the alloy rims (although he is known for speedline split rim refurbs) to prevent this occurring so quickly in the future , alloy Center sections( not magnesium ) can be refurbished by any professional wheel refurbisher(,lepsons,pristine,platinum alloys) etc, magnesium Centred rims need to go to tpcs-magnesium wheels in sells green ,just outside of devizes,wiltshire
the wheels need to be dismantled to carry out the process correctly.
