Greeners is your man for this, or you could ask A1 themselves.  :happy2:

Another recommendation for A1 from me. Greeners recommended them to me. Got my badly white wormed Monza 18's powdercoated there:

....No, but don't be put off by appearances:



Nor being greeted by a very friendly grinning Asian wearing Gabbani bling specs and a strong Wolverhampton accent!

And their shop on the street looks like a dodgy Wolverhampton minicab office.

a1, lepsons and wrc (wheel repair centre) in preston are the three that get the most mentions as being good at what they do.

Looking to use Lepsons or A1 depending on the cost as I've family near both so could be handy. WRC in preston could be useful too as they're just down the M6.

Out of interest how long did they take? did they have loan wheels etc?

....I still had my Monza 17's (since sold), so I used those. I drove back home down south and visited A1 again later that week en route to the forum's first mega-meet near Stafford. So, as usual with folks who work on my car, I gave them plenty of time - Nearly a week but they probably would have taken only 2-3 days. Best ask others like Greeners.

If you have no luck with calling the shop then I have a couple of mobile numbers, so you can text or leave a message.
I have used them a number of times, sometimes for refurbs, and sometimes to just put tyres on. The best at what they do, and as mentioned already, if you mention the forum then it helps  :wink:

Whats the general pricing for wheel refurb? I went to a local place today who quoted £300 for my six wheels? is that any god compared to others? the wheel specialists wanted £600 :surprised:

There's a place near me called the Blast Shop (Penrith/Carlisle) quoted me £80 per wheel about a year ago to paint them (they dont do diamond cut iirc), I've used them before but Lepsons who come highly rated on here charge £260 plus vat for painting and £320 plus vat for polished rims. They're £10 a wheel cheaper if you remove the tyres. From what I can see in my research anywhere from £300 upwards for std paint finish or up to and over £400 for polished/diamond cut.
