I may need to get a wheel refurb as a tyre is leaking air around the rim. Does anyone have any recommend places in South Leeds or North/West Wakefield?

Is there a standard ish cost to look out for?

The wheel specialists in Leeds. I take all my cars there smile

Roughly £60 per wheel, but it isn't just a repair and paint. Tyre off, acid dip, shot blasted, repaired, painted and rebalanced all for the same price as a man in a van to cover your car in vaguely the same shade of silver...

I was just about to post an identical thread, and was also specifically going to ask about TWS.

Do you have any pictures of the wheels they've done for you? And what extent of damage have they sorted for you?

My wheels are kerbed quite badly on the front frown

Cheers, the tyre appears to be currently holding air after the alloy was given a good clean so fingers crossed.

If they need doing are coloured alloys the same cost? The ones fitted to my car are anthracite/gunmetal colour.

They can do any colour, and finish, and can colour match to OEM most the time.
I've taken some bad bad wheels, and they come out like new, if not better. Likewise I've taken some factory fresh wheels for a simile colour change and again been perfect.

I'll try find some photos, but most the cars I sell tend to go through a rigorous prep including wheels done at any cost. Divine-Automotive.co.uk and Facebook.com/DivineAutomotive for a more regular stream of photos wink

I'll likely use them then, thanks.

Is that your firm? Some lovely metal on there!

I've used them a few times and a few of my mates have used them on my advice (and I never got a discount for said extra business; Yorkshire, eh?).

Biggest job were the wheels on my SL which I had done smoked chrome and then redone when I really really wrecked them crashing into a kerb sideways. There's a pic or two on their testimonials page...

The best chap I've ever used was in Wakefield near the M1 roundabout for Denby Dale, Tony Bickerstaffe 01924 259932, it's a long time since I used him and he could well have moved on / retired but if he's about it's worth a go.

He retired a couple of years ago.
