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

[Mingle]

I use him to refurb some pescaras for my golf, I'm not to impressed tbh!

1) the finish on the wheels are like sand paper

2) 2 tyres now keep going down every other day ( been told this is because he didn't use tyre seal after he has broke the bead, spoke to him and he tells me he never has used it in 6 years) says he will drop £25 off for me to get it done (great) but the money has never been dropped off

3) 1 wheel is darker than the others ( 1 was black the others were silver, I defo know he didn't primmer them)

£130 and it took him 4 hours

just wanted know what other people think or is it just mobile van in general?
Or it could be just a 1 off and there normally very good.

thanks look forward to hearing from you all

i'm afraid it's probably an example of the old saying "pay cheap, pay twice". £130 is nothing to have 4 wheels refurbished

My refurb set me back 350 quid... you get what you pay for.

as Rich says you get what you pay for am afraid,4hrs just isn't long enough to refurb them

[Mingle]

Thanks lads think it's a defo next time I will get them done by the pro's. It seems people say they are wheel refurbers but in truth all they have done is gone on a day course and payed for a franchised named van :)

Live and learn I think another saying is lol

They look the dogs :)

update- I phoned him last night to no answer 4 times, so I texted him told him what I thought of the finish and said I would be getting in touch with the wheel wizard boss :) as it's been 2 weeks. Straight away he texted me back to say he was ill and he had not forgot about the £25 and he would get his misses drop it down to me, so there I am today wrapping some prezzies as a car pulls up and some one jumps out and quicky shoves a letter though the door and then rushes off "lol" it was a scruffy used letter with £30 inside the extra £5 must be to keep me sweet lol

So all in all I paid £100 for the refub, it should last me till the summer then I think I will get the pro's on them :)

I will try get some pictures up next week

I know a few people who have used laptab years ago and they were very cheap but awful finish, both had their wheels redone at a1. They may have improved since I guess.
