Alloy Wheel Refurbishment

[GaryC]

My wife has managed to scuff both of my offside alloys (and she says she can't even remember how!) Fortunately neither is badly damaged, but seeing the wheels scuffed annoys me and I want to get them sorted.

Can anyone recommend anywhere in the Herts area that might be able to do a good job at sorting out the wheels? Given the RS6 is our only car I'm ideally looking for someone who can do the job while I wait.

Cheers,

Gary.

I had Wicked Wheels (wickedwheels.co.uk), after recommendation from Audi dealer, fix my two front rims last week.

£65 per corner if you haggle (Audi get ot for £55 or so I would guess). They were very good and mobile with extraction and paint spraying and took the wheels off the car and tyres partly of the rims to do it. Rubbed the whole wheel down and sprayed the full rim.

try 0870 300 3224 for them.

Had others come to look but beware of the ones without the proper kit as I am sure the job will not be as good

Good Luck

Cheers Shimmy. I've booked them for later this week.

Is there anything special I need to tell them about the finish of the RS6 wheels?

the WW guy that did mine was all knowing. Just make sure he does the whole wheel I guess to get it even.

otherwise should be easy

[GaryC]

The guy who came did a superb job and both wheels now look like new again!

Thanks again for the recommendation.

Do you know if they can repair a smallish scratch without repainting the whole face?? The alloy in question is practically brand new, just a localised repair is needed preferably.

Can they repair fair size gouges?

[GaryC]

SteveH and ZeroK66 - best give them a call and ask. I wasn't home when they did mine, but from the look of it they've rubbed down and repainted the whole wheel.

the guy who came to do mine said they do sometimes locally repair but one of mine was the size of a 5p piece and he did the whole wheel.
