Quality wheel refurb
Quality wheel refurb
Advice please, wheels need sorting, any recommendations (pristine, prestige etc) ?
Also, phantom black, black optic, would satin anthracite look the part ?

Re: Quality wheel refurb
If you wanna see what it looks like:


Ok, it's not quite there with the full black optics yet (still got to do the windows) but pretty close.
I'll post a picture from the front angle later so you can see it against the black grill.

Re: Quality wheel refurb
My dealer are doing mine but won't have piccies for at least 2 weeks
I will be happy to post the piccies up when my baby returns though.

Redrsr, if you tell us what area you are from it might help with the recommendations.

Re: Quality wheel refurb
not sure where you are based but the Wheel Specialist in Fareham nr Portsmouth is excellent. They have other branches but I have only used the Fareham one.

Near Newark, convinced now I've got the colour right, quite willing to take the wheels anywhere if I'm going to get a job that lasts, just need to get sorted before the gritters start spreading

Re: Quality wheel refurb
When did you have yours done by them Mike? Were you completely happy with the finish? I have heard some shocking stories about this place but andre3000 has had his done there and is very happy. It's normally after the first 3 months when a quality is proven, no flacking or pitting.MikeFish wrote:Mine were done by the wheel specialist in Birmingham.

Re: Quality wheel refurb
I'm sure I replied to this morning but it looks like it has disappeared.
anyway, i had them done in March so about 8 months ago. I was happy with the finsh. I thought at one point I spotted a bit that hadnt been refurbed properly (possible poor prep work) but couldnt see it again so maybe it was just a bit of dirt.
The finish though was very good, no problems, and certainly no flaking ir pitting.
They did all 4 wheels in the same day too.

Re: Quality wheel refurb
Promising feed back. Can't believe they can do a day turn around though. Most soak the wheels for at least a day in acid.
