refurb by Wheel wizard Staffordshire anybody used them? I did!

[simonp]

Never used them myself, just remember someone recommending them on another forum a while back. Always look for reviews, it's what the internet is for!

Team Dynamics did mine and did an excellent job. They were cheaper than A1 quoted too. Only downside is they take a week to 10 days but they do have loan wheels.

Its impossible to refurb 4 wheels properly in 4 hours.

[bazz55]

what sort of cost have you guys paid for 4 rims? have most of these been powder coated or painted finish? Some great looking wheels!! My monza 2's have started to corode on one corner so need somewhere good to do mine

cheers bazz

it's my website, i run a wheel refurb company in kent. we do both types of finish, full powdercoated or just face only tidy ups and charge accordingly for what we do. if anyone needs any advice on wheel refurbs feel free to call me 07977 851 714. I'll always gladly have a chat with people who need questions answered. I won't try to sell you the most expensive refurb and if there is something I can't do i will put you in touch with people who can. I treat people how i like to be treated.

By the way, this isn't just some random plug... i own a black 55 plate gti and use this site for reading up on it.

All the best,

sean.

Sean what are your prices for a full strip and refurb on 16" alloys?

[AnilS]

Won't use A1 again but City Powder Coaters in Digbeth did my 17" Merc alloys for £100 all in. Inside and out fully powder coated in Hyper chrome and laquerd too!

That's dirt cheap!!! were the alloys stripped first? looks to be a very good finish too

Yes they fully strip them first

I had a set of 5, Audi 5 spoke (16") alloys done by city powdercoaters last year, (they did my old winter wheels that SWMBO is now using on her MK5), the finish was not 100% but TBH I think that is purely because the wheels were in a very poor corroded state when they went in (bubbling everywhere).
I am seriously considering using them for her summer wheels.

Citypowdercoaters http://www.citypowdercoating.co.uk/  work:



I have tried Lepson's before because I was told they were the best .... but I left there seriously unimpressed with their work and attitude. (that was on a 6 month old OE wheel also!)

The 'shadow' you can see below is actually a difference in the paint colour! - there was no damage previously here either, there was also several (6 IIRC) silicone spots ('fish eyes') in the finish also

Hi,

£45 per wheel,

we look after your car for 3 days at our workshop while we do the refurb,
remove tyres,
strip old paint off,
shot blast wheel inside and out,
and kerb damage is smoothed out,
powdercoated in what ever colour required,
powdercoat lacquered (gloss / matt)
tyres put back on wheels using new valves,
wheels balanced and put back on car.

Just to let you know, my prices may be higher than some and lower than others, i can't comment on these companies, but me and my colleague put a lot of effort into what we do, we aim to impress and use very high end products so we can get the best results.

Cheers
