Wheel Refurb - Warrington Area ??

[Kris86]

Anybody know of anywhere decient place that does wheel refurbs either coming to your house or a drive in and leave ur car? Iv no spare wheels so needs to be done the same day. Just took a chunk out of my front left alloy

Also if the whole wheel needs refurbing, is the anthracite an easy colour to match or will all 4 alloys need doing?

Any reply greatly aprechiated!!

I got my wheels refurbed by a company at bamber bridge (passed Preston) you can leave your can with them, did a good job! One had a a big dent in it and you can't tell at all

Mate told me of these:

Never used them myself, but I'm tempted...

Cheers for reply guys. Tbh John the link you gave me was the only one id heard off, popped down and they want £20 a wheel and their website looks like they aint amateurs..booked in for saterday ill get some pics up before/after and you can decide if you wanna use them. My alloy will be the test hah.

WRC . wheel repair center there called. When I dropped my wheels off they had a lambo parked up getting it's wheels done.

I've been tempted by wrc. Wouldn't use national alloys myself. Their finish isn't the best.

Next time fella, Adam Blooor on here has a contact that does powder coating for a very low cost. Well worth a PM.

They do everything! powder coating, normal spray work, diamond cut.....I got mine powder coated and they got the colour match 100% spot on! took my wheels to them before I went on holiday, came back and picked up what looked like a brand new set of wheels!

another vote for wrc, highly recomended and professional service.

Does anyone know the colour code for the Anthricite colour on the Cup pack alloys?

A similar thing happened to me recently and I now need one alloy sorting - spoke to WRC in Manchester at the weekend and they didnt have a clue what the colour was (hence the question above) and wanted to charge me £80 + VAT for one wheel!.. Thats full strip down to bare metal + powder coat etc... but still seams expensive

Will be intersted in seeing pics of how you get on Kris.. £20pw is cheap!

Renault Manchester do them at £50 a wheel, in the correct anthracite colour.

Leave your car and collect at the end of the day. I think a courtesy car is £17 if you want one.

Thanks for the tip - just rung them, apparently they don't do it there anymore - would have to go to renault Liverpool to get it done!

Role on Sat, i wana see what Kris's £20 gets you

wont be s**t my dads used them a few times once for his bike wheels mirror polished lips, and once for when my mum just managed to kerb one wheel.

 

[john.med]

Just dropped my car off at national alloys, at £140 all in I'm happy. Will be a massive improvement over the scratched, dirt-baked, chipped and kerbed anthracite, sorry, 'amphasite' finish I'm currently rollin' with...

 

[H182]

^Is that for powdercoating? Can you show some pics when done, thx.

 

[john.med]

I presume it's powder, didn't ask. They were in such a state, really anything they do will be an improvement. Just getting standard silver. Will post up some pics when I get it back

 

[john.med]

At the place waitin to get my car out of the garage now. First impressions are good. Will get some pics up when I get home, iPhone pics fail.

For the price (£140) I'm really happy. Not perfect, but pretty close.

It's two pack paint they use H182.

These rims were in a shocking, shocking state before. Hard to remember now. Gotta leave the centres off for 24 hrs and need some new bolts, after hammering the locking ones off.

What do people think?
