Wheel Refurb - Pre/Post Pics and Longevity

[Andyk]

I use the wheelspecialist to but the Cardiff branch......They did a full refurb and colour chnage on my GTV so not just the face as most will do for £274 and the results are very very good...I was impressed.

They do look good Andy, and very reasonably priced too!

I've put some enquiries out to various places so will see what comes back. Thanks.

Thanks Miles - getting the centre caps to match - thats something I'd taken for granted!

I was advised to leave them well alone, and they look fine - I'd say that's the right advice unless you're going for a significant change of colour.

Bumping an old thread....Andrew, the finish on your wheels - are they free from inclusions? The last set I had done had small inclusions in the laquer - do you have any inclusions in yours?

 

[Parisien]

Hi Woody, will be getting mine done during a service at Autoshield in June....inclusions are?

[Woody]

Basically, they look like tiny bits of dust or metal in the laquer. They're not the end of the world, but I'd prefer not to have them on mine, if possible.

 

[Parisien]

Oh, you mean.....dust and **** cause of poor technique, lack of care?!!


P

 

[Woody]

Aye, basically.

I don't know if its lack of care or pickness on my part? Either way, when I pointed it out on the last wheels I had done, I was made to feel like it wasnt worth mentioning!

Sorry Woody, my take on a wheel refurb etc ......is as good as new after....not full of minute defects.......its your money and your car!!!

Clarify with them before you start.......no ifs buts or stupid excuses.........

[Woody]

haha...aye, fair enough. I'll do what I can!
