Area Representative peewee7 Posted November 17, 2005 Area Representative Share Posted November 17, 2005 Can anyone recommend a good company for wheel refurbishment? I’ve got some Black with silver ally outer 13” that need attention. If you’re behind me and can read this, its because I’m letting you....

I reply to every thread Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Spit & Polish in Tonbridge - but they're a long way from you. I'd query the economics anyway - It'll cost you broadly the price of a new wheel to get them refurbed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomRees Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 wicked wheels - www.wickedwheels.co.uk have a number of locations, quoted me £50 per wheel though... Happily married to a 1990 Supersprint. Dont tell the missus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative peewee7 Posted November 17, 2005 Author Area Representative Share Posted November 17, 2005 Cheers fella, dont get me wrong, they are in a tidy condition but could do with a pick me up, ready for the summer. Distance isnt a problem as long as the finish is first class... If you’re behind me and can read this, its because I’m letting you....

peterg Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 er, actually it's more than that 😳 - from the Wicked Wheels website "Our average retail charge is £65.00 + VAT per wheel although this may vary depending on location and the number of wheels."

Area Representative peewee7 Posted November 17, 2005 Author Area Representative Share Posted November 17, 2005 Dat's silly money Might as well go and buy some new wheels!! It's not like I'm talking split rims or wire, just bog standard 13" ML... If you’re behind me and can read this, its because I’m letting you....

Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted November 17, 2005 Leadership Team Share Posted November 17, 2005 Other than getting a tin of paint yourself, I don't think you'll find there's enough value in 13" ML wheels to make it worthwhile paying someone to refinish them. Sell them for track use (or maybe better?) and buy a new set. Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I reply to every thread Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 The point I was making. Spit & Polish are circa £55 a wheel - new are £60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Durrant Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Sell your existing set as someone will want them if only for track day use and buy a new set. It will work out a lot cheaper and you get a brand new wheels Mark D Su77on Se7ens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicky Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I have heard very good things about BJV Engineering, Hemel Hempstead. Website is www.wheelrefurbishing.co.uk. They are only £25 a wheel I think. But you have to get them there and remove the tyres before hand too. Dicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
