Alloy refurbishment in West Lothian?

[Milemuncher207]

There seems to be a few around, any recommendations?

Would need to be done in a day, with tyres removed and re-fitted, ideally less than £50 a corner for 17"

Pentland Powder Coaters did my sisters wheels about 5 years ago and mine about 3 months ago and the finish is superb. Hers look as good now as they did when they were first done so yup, I'd be given them a call.

Not used them but believe these guys come recommended from Pistonheads members:

OK - not exactly West Lothian but the right side of Edinburgh

Davie- cheers, but Loanhead is not too convenient for me sadly.

George - Thanks, any idea as to what they generally charge?

Just outside Forth. I've used them for wheels and bike frames/parts and all been very good

Send them an email/full quote, wait a couple of days and you might get an email offering discount - I did (haven't used them yet).

Would need to be a considerable discount!

They look a good option.

I've dropped the wife's X5 wheels off here today. Will post some pics when done.

One to avoid I'd say.

Really? How come? I've just dropped a set of wheels in to them...

I've never had wheels done there, but had other bits done, of which i had to take a few bits back.

I have used WheelProScotland at Easterhouse for wheels and they did a fantastic job on a set of 25yr old 15" Speedlines for £45 a wheel, plus they acid dip rather than blasting which is much healthier for wheels, they also do diamond cutting etc iirc.

Well, how did it go?
