Alloy refurb Needed

[Christophe]

Any decent places around Harrogate, York or Leeds who can do alloy wheel refurbs? I've been to a couple body garages who do them but they ain't confident they can match the silver which doesn't make me to confident.

Have a look at the wheel specialist website they do have a few garages you might have one local to you, ive had a few sets done there the work was top

 

[Christophe]

cool cheers the leeds one is only 27miles away! Do you know how much they charge per wheel?

 

[leeds_182]

They do a CS discount mate.

I had my wheels for the 197 done there and I think I paid around £190 for refurb and powder coate. Good qualiy finish.

 

[Christophe]

just rang. they said £176 for my front two. Didnt mention the cs discount though. quite expensive. thats quoted for hi power silver which is most expensive as i'm not sure what mine are as they not standard

CS discount is quite alot iirc!

 

[leeds_182]

That is expensive - I certainly didnt pay that much for mine but it was a few months ago. I only needed the refurb on one of the wheels and the rest were just powder coated.

£176 for two wheels ?

FME.

I thought this. But if thats what they say not much i can do. they do re-do them fully and they put back on car re balance etc.

I should hope so !!!

Can't you get them powder coated at that place near the airport. SAS coatings I think it's called. They charge a pound an inch or something. so £16 a wheel.

Just rub them down and filler them yourself.

 

[Christophe]

think they need re doing properly as its gone down to bare metal and don't want a half done job

seems a bit high, i was quoted 215 for all 4 wheels in anthracite with all balancing etc

Clio sport discount is 25% though and that was used on the above but still it would be about 280 without it for 4 tyres

Well, CS discount only applies to 4 wheels at TWS Leeds, and it's 25% and free tyre strip & refit. Same day service, and a guarantee for your work. Code is csyorks IIRC.

You could take them to any old cheap powdercoaters, but you'll need to sort getting the tyres off, wheels there, then tyres back on and balanced yourself.

They all get refurbed They don't powder over the existing finish, it's stripped off.

 

[Waitey]

Gaz that code doesn't work

 

[Gaz.]

Don't know what it is anymore then, unless it's cliosportyorks. Best to ring/email them and mention Cliosport.

 

[Waitey]

£160 for 2 18"'s with tyre re fit.

Only £15 more for me to by 2 new front alloys!

 

[Gaz.]

Like I said, discount doesn't apply on 2 wheels. I'm not denying it's a costly option, but you're paying for a very good same day job.

 

[Waitey]

Discount still applies Gaz.

Wheel refurb with tyres on and off = £160
Petrol to get there and back £30
Total £190

New wheels = £180
Selling curbed fronts = £80
Total = £100.

I know what i'll be doing!

 

[Gaz.]

No it doesn't apply. It will go through online, but they'll reject it.

I'm surprised your wheels are so cheap brand new.

 

[Waitey]

Ah...

Aye £93.50 each, which is a bargain for 18'' wheels.

 

[Gaz.]

For Genuine TVR wheels, that's a bargain. I'd snap loads up at that price, then flog them on to the unsuspecting!

No one makes Genuine ones any more Gaz. They are all replica's!

Most do sell at a huge mark up. Some companies sell them for £300 a piece!

 

[Gaz.]

Ah, that explains them being cheap then. TBH, the quality of some replicas is f**king shocking. Hopefully these aren't.

 

[markblack172]

i can get your wheels done for less than that, i had mine done around a month ago and it cost me less than that to have 4 done

They are made by the company that made the OEM ones. They just aren't allowed to brand them as TVR anymore.

Do you mean CAS coatings on Victoria Rd in Bradford? They are a £1 an inch but they do also try and take all curb damage out themselves. You have just got to get your own tyres taken off and put back on.
