A1 Wheels Monza II Refurbs a few months/years on...
« on: August 17, 2011, 09:20:20 pm »
Hi Folks,

Has anyone out there had their Monza II wheels refurbished at A1 and had them for a few months/years?

Just wondered how they're holding up as I managed to curb another at the w/e  :ashamed: and am looking to get them refurbished shortly.

Just wondered about the durability of the wheels once refurbished.

Anyone had their wheels done recently?

They quoted me £95/wheel  -  I thought that they were around the £85 mark.

About right for diamond fronts, give or take. Mention the forum as well......and my name. Had a few done there now.

Your cheaper option, just have them painted.

A1 did my monza's with the black inserts- perfect job :happy2: that was about 2 months ago. I would like to know how they will hold out after a couple of years on the roads. . .

I bought Greeners' Monzas off him. They had been refurbed by A1. Can't remember exactly how long it's been but approx 3yrs on and they're still fine.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

No experience of A1 per se, except their price which put me off so I went to Lepsons in Swindon (cheaper), they are both equal distance from me in Glos. I have to say 6 months on the Lepsons refurb is excellent like new, and their customer service could not be faulted, excellent outfit, v v impressed, I also took along a porsche wheel i though I had bent, they checked it out, tyre and wheel, found it had been incorrectly balanced and sorted it - the charge - Er nothing that will be free sir! How good was that :). From everything I have read on the forums (and I did a LOT of research before i took the plunge) go with either Lepson's or A1 and you will be fine. They both have multiple good reports and recommendations so it will come down to location and price. HTH's John

Jmspear,

Did lepsons give you a spare set of wheels while you were waiting? I believe A1 offer this service.

Thanks.

The A1 wheels I think are standard Golf 16" rims.

If your not in a huge rush Team Dynamics do refurbs and were better priced than A1 when they did my scirocco wheels but they do take a week to 10 days. They supplied me with a loan set of 18's too.

Contact John Blades there for a quote.
