Alloy wheel refurbishment

[allymcmurdo]

Can anyone recommend a good place to refurbish my current wheels. I know they're going to be a complete pain in the backside to do because, as the pic shows, they have a polished lip, White face and anodised blue inners. The white paint is starting to lift and bubble so I might be able to get away with just getting the faces done.
?What are your opinions on having them finished in anthracite or gloss black? I get fed up of keeping the white ones clean!

Sorry can't help on this too much. But the best bet may be to check the yellow pages and then go and visit some of the places and see what they say. Make sure they actually do the refurbishment and are not just agents for refurb.

Pristine is utter c**p, STAY AWAY from them!

Care to qualify that Syed ?

Yes. Got 4 stock wheels refurbed by them. 10 months later, paint/lacquer bubbling and metal exposed. They were very polite telling me to piss off when I told them I wanted the two affected wheels redone under the 12 month warranty they came with.

So one expensive refurb = 10 months later and falling apart. These are on pampered wheels, always kept clean with no harsh cleaners used (water + sponge and elbow grease). Their sh*t attitude added to that qualifies that statement IMO.

Not very good customer service

If that happened with the Simple design Stock wheels, I'll give them a miss. Thanks for the warning Syed

[Syed Shah]

No problem. Don't want anyone else to go through that hassle. You expect more when paying that much.
