jaymdee Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Anyone know anywhere local, who can be trusted to do a good job? Ideally I want to drop the car off and pick it up next day, with the wheels cleaned, repaired, and painted etc. They are split rim, and really need to be taken apart to do the job properly and may need all the studs replacing, as they're quite corroded. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 The only place I've found is in Hanham. Unit 22 in Hanham Business Park in Memorial Road. I haven't taken my wheels in yet, though. He's there on Saturday mornings. 07818 228519. Don't know about split rims, but I would think probably not. Superlite in Gloucester refurb split rims according to their web site. Again, no personal experience, I'm afraid. http://www.superlite-wheels.com/wheelrefurbishment.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymdee Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 cheers mate. Found a place in Brum which look good, but a bit too far. I'll give superlite-wheels a ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macer Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 Performance Wheel Supplies in Blackpool definitely deal with split rims, and the quality of their work is top notch. I haven't got round to sending my wheels off yet, but that's where they'll be going! Only trouble is it's about a ten day turnaround as they send the wheels to Germany! It may sound a bit excessive, but like I said they do a proper job - the lacquer isn't going to peel off after 6 months!! Here's the number if you want to give them a try: 01253 347984 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymdee Posted April 11, 2007 Author Share Posted April 11, 2007 thanks mate. Not able to do that as I need the car, but I'm sure they do a good job. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garethr Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 ......refer to these people to refurb split rims: http://www.alloywheelrepairs.net/ From this to this is pretty impressive, especially if it was cheaper than buying a new wheel. Whether that sort of repair is a good idea, though...... http://www.alloywheelrepairs.net/WheelRepair-Car-Wheel.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Ive been trawling through sites for a while now and most cant do split rims even when they say on there website they can. Laptab wont take split rims apart or put them back together but will do the everything else, Pristine are insane and want stupid amounts of money for a total refurb on 3 piece split rims and the chap i spoke to didnt fill me with confidence to say the least. Waiting to here from Superlite as i emailed them today and ive spoke to these guys and they said yep they can do them but would need to see them before they would quote for the job. http://www.wheelrefurbishing.com/index.html Im waiting to here from Envy as ive asked Gaz to give me price as they apparently can get them done.
