Alloy refurbing
Alloy refurbing
Marsdendean I've been looking at these, since refurbing them is so expensive! That way, i could leave my corroded IS ones on during the winter, and use 18" at summer.
Wheel base do these for £560 + tyres,

Dean,
My mate at Auto-Serve does wheel refurbs. He did the wheels on my S2000 and have seen him do loads.
Wheels are normally stripped back to metal, sand blasted, powder coated, (in the case of my s2000 wheels they where then painted again!) and then lacquered.

They are off Ashton Road in Oldham too (Behind Belgrave Mill), so nearby too. :thumbup:

for more detailsw give him a ring on 01942 222413, i'm there tomorrow so will probbly be answering the phone.:ohmy:
for the best finish of all the place is pristine wheels in london, its normally a week turn around and pemberton tyres charge £300 to strip the tyres off send the wheels away and then re build them back on the car, he even lends you a set of wheels to keep you mobile while yours are away (stock dependent).
