Wheel Refurb

ModifiedMadness · Post by **ModifiedMadness** » Thu Feb 02, 2006 8:32 pm

What does everyone make to this website http://www.wickedwheels.co.uk

I don't really know anywhere around my way that would do them, they seem pretty good,

Polishing
Many wheels are machined to a polished finish, damage to wheels can usually be repaired on-site or if the damage is more significant we can arrange for your wheels to be collected and repaired at our premises.

Just want a few of your views on whether you think they look good, I'd really like mine doing. I'd be rolling on G60 steelies while they were being done, as they're cheap even from VW.

Thanks

EDIT

How much will it cost?
Our average retail charge is Â£65.00 + VAT per wheel although this may vary depending on location and the number of wheels. Simple call us for a quote.

I'd be looking at, at least Â£45.50 each then, for a 2 Piece

Very true!

I used Wicked Wheels couple of years ago when I kerbed my OZ's. Standard of work was very very good, even I don't know where they were kerbed anymore!

Just a shame the guy who had the franchise near me stopped working for them.

Were they expensive?

they quote

"Split Rims
Split Rim wheels or three piece wheels are very difficult to refurbish. However many bolted wheels such as the Jaguar XKR range of wheels are now repairable.
Just call us or e-mail a photo for a quotation.
We are the choice of most Jaguar dealers throughout the UK."

surely they're simpler to refurb!?!?!?

Think I paid Â£75 for two rims to have kerbing marks taken out. Done at my house, didn't take long.

Very true - as with so much in life you get what you pay for! Split rims are more expensive to refurbish because they have to be split apart before refurbishment and bolted back together afterwards.

I will have mine done in the spring, I am budgeting Â£300 to have them refurbed back to factory conditions!

The only downside is that I will terrified of kerbing them after refurbishment!!

more examples of the refurbers work

Cost me less than Â£100 all in to refubish my BBS's myself, including freshly powder-coated centres.

Pretty rewarding as well, even if it meant freezing to death in the garage doing it

But I'm lazy

I don't mind paying the money, so long as I'm pleased with the results.

I think I'll have to get some pics and e-mail them what I want doing
