Anyone know anywhere for for wheel refubs?



  BG182 FF
Around leicester, coventry, birmingham area would be great! just need the front two doing. need them refubing and then re spraying.
 
City Powdercoating @ Bham, £20 per wheel fully stripped, sandblasted, powdercoated and laquered - Loz H now has my Clio with them - but they have been absolutely solid for the near 3 years I had them done for :)

(It also helped I applied GTechniq C5 to them).

I thought they had some protection on them! They cleaned up extremely easy with just a mitt & shampoo water. Although I think its ran its course in places as the brake dust is starting to settle in the spokes, will have to break out the old wonderwheels & iron-X.
 
Yeah, highly highly recommend it, leaves a wax-like finish when cleaned, and SO easy to remove brakedust, dont even need to scrub them when the protection is on.

Pain to apply though, took me about 4-6 hours to do it properly!

Yeah just read a review for it on DW, looks promising! only £22.50 aswell from G-Techiq so i reckon i'll pick some up and see if I can get them sealed this weekend ahead of Trax

Russ at Midlands car care.

I recently had mine done through Russ @ Midlands Car Care- he basically refers you to The Wheel Specialist in Wolverhampton and takes a commission from them.

No issue with The Wheel Specialist, the wheels were great and their service was good, but I won't be using Midlands Car Care again. Very quick and efficent initially, but when i was booked in / had issues- i had real problems getting through to Russ and then he stopped replying altogether.

how long do they take to do it at birmingham? as i only have 1 spare wheel so i would have to leave my car there or buy another temp wheel.

If you are only having two refurbed - you don't expect them to match the others do you? (cos they won't).

City Powder Coatings do a good job cheap, but rarely answer phone calls, the turnaround is usually a few days, not sure if different if you leave the car with them, try ringing - good luck.

They can do same-day turnaround if you have a day spare (go shopping or something).

As above, not sure I'd risk getting them done at different times - sure they only do the same old colours, but you can still get variances :).

I would probably end up getting all 4 done together so there all fresh but yeah would prefer it done in a day... Will give a call

Not the best idea to powder coat and fit tyres on the same day, is it? Better to give them a bit of time to 'cure'? Is what I heard.

Buy a set of s**t wheels, run them for a week and get it done properly. IMO.
