Hey guys

Anyone recommend a alloy wheel refurbisher in York area?

I've heard that Raw Wheels is pretty good,anyone used these?

[turnipfarmer]

Many thanks guys, will give Yorvik a call today, I have heard good things about them from other people too.

Do you know if they can do two tone powder coat?

Cheers guys for the recommendations

I've book the alloys in at Raw Wheels near the McArthurGlen on the A64. Will upload some photos when I get a chance when they are done.

What sort of prices do they charge? Ball park. I kerbed a wheel last night

They quoted £55 per wheel just for normal powder coating and £80 for something with a little bit more detail like I am going for, the 2 tone paint thing.

Used them a couple of times and always impressed with the results.

Have you any photos of their work?

Yes
Changed the wheel colour on my old Vantage to darker pearlescent graphite grey.
Real depth in the paint.

Very nice, really looking forward to getting them done. Will really bring my Abarth back up to spec. Gonna go with darker colour on inner part of wheel and inside spokes and more silver colour with slight polished face. Basically copying the diamond cut look but in powder coated form.

Well had my alloys done by Raw Wheels and I must say, they did an awesome job, way better than what I expected. Well worth the drive over from Leeds in my opinion.

Will get some photos on here ASAP.

As promised here are some photos of the finished alloys on my Abarth 500.

These are before, just in ordinary silver and looking a bit meh! Just in silver powder coated and poorly at that. Previous owner must have had them done using water based paint and paint was peeling and chipping.




These are photos of after Raw Wheels work their magic on them, hope you enjoy them. I went for a polished face and darker black colour inside the spokes and inner rim as well as the little detailing on the face of the alloy itself.

The workmanship and attention to detail is spot on, I couldn't believe these were the same alloys. I wanted it to resemble the looks of the diamond cut alloy, which they were originally and I aren't disappointed with it.

Certainly worth a visit if you nearby to York. This work took a day and half but was told with less complex design wheels can turn it around in a day.

Each wheel cost me £80.
