anyone know any any or had experience with any alloy wheel refurb places in the north west? had a quote for £300 seems a bit dear, seen a few mentioned for £45 per wheel elswhere in the uk.
Have seen some work from this place but not actually used them.
They are in Bamber Bridge near Preston
wheel repair
Wheels only price is if you take wheels in without tyres.
Wheels with tyres = drop wheels & tyres off & collect same after coating
Workshop Service = drop car off and collect car next day with wheels coated.
Golf that was leaving when I popped in for a price had just been done and have to admit the wheels were spotless and a very good job.
I have standard alloys on my Red K1, is there a good company anyone knows to get them coated black gloss like the factory fit option. My car didnt have them but the more i see them the better they look.
There was a similar thread on Briskoda a while back.
National Alloys have a very good reputation, cheap too.

I've seen good reports on them too - you can drop the car in the morning and they'll do them same day. Does mean spending the day in Widnes though!
Been reading through the National Alloys site and it looks like they are only offering to PAINT the wheels rather than POWDER COAT them.
Could be why they are much cheaper.
Anyone confirm Paint or Powder Coat from these guys ??
what about TWS in manchester? (The Wheel Specialist) my dad got his r8 alloys done there. They're not the cheapest but do a bloody good job!
I've had a bike frame & a set of Compomotive MO's done at the wheel repair centre at Bamber Bridge but i'm going elsewhere this time.
I know powdercoat is quite thick but the amount of time I had to spend shaving bits of powdercoat off to get the frame back together was a joke, I had the same issue when it came to refitting the alloys, a mate of mine got his wheels done at Burnley bead blasters and they came out great.
the wheel specialist! google them theyre good
