Will any of this sort it out...
alloy repair kit | eBay

The last thing I want is to screw it up further :/
 
Mate your "Rotor" wheel has a fine and very unique diamond cut finish around the rim, beneath a satin lacquer. I've managed to dink two of my wheels, one quite badly, and the only way to remedy this is a pro refurb (if you want the right results). Also the spokes are finished with a matte lacquer - many wheel specialists won't touch it. Where are you based? I've found a guy in Kent, who does very well-respected work for reasonable rates and when he saw my rotor just replied "That's not a problem, it will match the others perfectly".

Sorry for the semi hijack, but can you give any details please mate? I'm looking for someone to refurb my wheels in a darker colour. I'm based in Kent and would welcome any recommendations. Thanks.

I was looking at the Halfords website and found this bit - * Please note: Repairs to alloy wheels that are chrome, laser cut, split rim construction or corroded are not available...

The rotors are obviously split rim construction right?
 
Split rim wheels are where there is 2 or more sections bolted together.

There are of course, fake split rims too.

Hi Tempy, if you're looking for just a straight refurb and change in colour, in Kent there's only one sensible choice - Lepson's. their work is very good. As for rotors, one of the few companies that will do them and guarantee a factory finish is DIAMOND STYLING in Sevenoaks. I have actually been told over the phone before by a couple of places that I should expect a gloss finish, different grey and coarser diamond cut on the refurbed rotors! Erm, no thanks!
