Alloy Refinishing kerbed for kerbed alloys :(

[Ritch_182]

Hi All,

I was thick enough to kerb my passanger alloy last night :lolup:.

Does anyone know a good alloy refinisher in the Northamptonshire/Milton keynes area? How long does it take people to do these normally?

Any comments/advice welcome! (sensible)

My Son had one of his done after an encounter with a multi storey car park kerb.
The firm was called Wicked Wheels, they came to the house and did a really good job. I think it was about £30 from memory.

Ah, just found the site :

someone like chips away etc. will come to your house and do a spot repair on them.

Brian,
Thanks for the reply, I had done a quick google and found these people, nice to know you were happy with their service. I guess I have a few options to persue.

I do really appreciate everyones suggestions/comments. I will only get the chance to do this properly once lol

Have a good Christmas

Fred,
By the sounds of things I am better off taking your valuable advice and calling pristine wheels? Are wikid wheels not a good idea then?

Thanks for your help

pristine are bloody expensive, they have large contracts with car manufacturers and private refurbs aint really worth their while so they charge u a bomb and done really care if u say no

my bro has had a set of 4 turbines done by pristine in anthracite. the finish is excellent. imo you get what you pay for in wheel refurbing.

Anyone know of a recommended place in the South East that will re-furb? Tried Chips away, but guy never got back to me!

I was going to mention lepsons too - I think that cs memebers get trade rate, I never actually rang them to find out what they charge per wheel though.
They are in Gillingham.
