The wheel process

Option A - Vehicle drop off - time scale – next day/approx 34hrs

Simply drop your vehicle off at our workshop in the morning and it will be available for collection the next afternoon, with your refurbished wheels and tyres refitted (including wheel balancing and new valves).

Please note: Vehicles must be booked in prior to drop off. Please call to book.

Option B - Wheels (with tyres on) time scale – 48 hours

We will remove and refit your tyres after restoration (including balancing and new valves). If you would like to supply new tyres, we can fit these to your restored wheels instead of your old tyres*.

*If you supply new tyres, your old tyres will be returned to you, or you can choose for us to recycle them (charges apply)

Option C – Wheel rims only (without tyres) time scale – 48 hours

We follow our refurbishment process and provide the rims back to you for refitting on your vehicle.

Our alloy wheel refurbishment process

Preparation

Wheels are taken off the vehicle and tyres removed from the wheel using a specialist machine.
Wheels are acid dipped to remove any previous paint and lacquers.
Wheels are lightly blasted to remove any corrosion and kerb damage, to provide a good base for paint adhesion.
Wheels are inspected and prepared. If there is any major damage requiring welding or straightening an additional charge would apply, which would be discussed prior to any repair being carried out.

Paint Application

Wheels are placed in our oven, heated to 245°C and a powder primer coat, powder top coat and lacquer finish are applied, with heating and cooling between coats.

Quality Check

Wheels are then subject to a quality check on the paint finish.

Refitting

Tyres are then refitted to the wheels and balanced before fitting back on to the vehicle, and the weights are placed on the inside of the rim so as not to spoil the appearance of the wheel. New valves or the existing sensor valves along with any centre caps are also fitted at this stage.

Diamond Cut

Our diamond cutting process involves the latest CNC technology that offers the finest finish for your alloy wheels. The precision cut, using our CNC lathe, is applied to the rims after powder coating, and removes a fine layer of the outer surface of the wheel to expose the bare metal beneath. A clear lacquer is then applied to the whole wheel to seal and finish the surface.
Note: Diamond cutting can not be applied to all styles of wheels. Please ask for details.

Repairs

We repair any minor wheel and kerb damage free of charge.
Any damage requiring welding or straightening would be subject to an additional charge of £40* (we would call to advise of this prior to work being carried out).

* The additional charge is per weld or straighten per damaged wheel.
