Jim_1979 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 I thought posting this here might get a better response than it did in the other part of the forum. I'm in southern scotland, 40mins from Edinburgh. Looking to get my Axis Milanos refurbed as they are kerbed and a bit corroded. Can anyone recommend anywhere? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy-m2 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 AutoImage in Edinburgh have sent mine away for me, I did a bit of investigation as my wheels have a diamond cut finnish, and the people who I found to do mine wanted me to go through AutoImage. Google will get you their details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy-m2 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 it should be £85 a wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim_1979 Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 ISn't that quite a bit? Someone said to me it should be about 40 or 50 per wheel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy-m2 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 one of my friends had a drive in drive out service done in loanhead for £60 a wheel, but i think £85 is not bad for sending them away full refurb on a non flat faced rim (ie the spokes are in the way of the deep dish lip) and then sending back and balancing. Also my wheels have a diamond cut finish which they say the can re produce with the refurb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franko Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 there is a place called "Wheel Services" in Plains just outside Airdrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solid Snake Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 take a look in my garage mate and you`ll see what I got for £100 a corner. That was weld-up the kerbing, diamond cut finish, polish and powder coated spokes. Coatech in Carnoustie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tichkent Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Arg - just kerbed my other front wheel today - drivers side already had a little kerbing but now I've got a big section of kerbing on the other front Is it worth getting them refurbed (they're in pretty good shape apart from the kerbing)? Has anyone used Wicked Wheels in the Edinburgh area or am I better going to AutoImage and getting 'em sent away? Sandy-m2 are you happy with the job they did - £85 per wheel is a little more than I'd want to spend to get the kerbing out - particularly coz I know within days of getting them fixed I'm bound to kerb them again...

tichkent Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Just got my alloys done today by a Chips Away guy in Laurieston/Falkirk. Very reasonable price (£130 for 3 wheels which I had kerbed). He did a stunning job on the two that were only slightly kerbed, basically as good as new. However the one which had quite a long section of kerbing is average - shape and colour are reasonably well matched but you can see it has been repaired/rebuilt when you look closely - lines/striations along the section that had to be rebuilt. It'll do for now (they look much better than they did before) but not convinced I'd recommend them for this kind of work. Mind you it was dead handy - dropped car off at 9am and it was ready to go by 3pm. Can put up pics if anyone is interested in getting same/similar done in the area.
