V8V Wheel refurb

[shunt]

I'm having my wheels refurbed by www.thewheelspecialist.co.uk
today. It's a full sand blast, repair any scuffs, primed and powder coat the whole wheel.

Can't wait to see the finished wheels, examples of their work looked amazing. The wheels had been done previously but not the best job, will post pictures when I've got it back.

Thankfully I've not had a call yet, mines in Manchester. Due to pick it up in a couple of hours, I'm a bit OCD where wheels are concerned, ie they need to be as clean inside as they are on the face. It's the only thing that used to bug me about the car, hopefully now will all be fixed.

I'm really pleased with the results, sorry for the poor phone picture, taken at 6.30am this morning after a 35 mile trip in the rain. Looking forward to fettling the whole car this weekend.

Cost wise, they originally quoted £430 ish, but have recently been offering a 25% discount, presumably because they're a bit quiet at the moment.





I went for the TWS3 finish which has a slight fleck in it. Looks great, highly recommended.

I'd been haggling with them on price for a few months and eventually I got them done for what I wanted to pay, which I was very happy with. It might be expensive for a painted refurb, but these are not painted. Once they've been shot blasted to get rid of all corrosion, they have a 2 stage powder coating.

I'm assured this will not peel away again like a normal rub down and re-paint (as had been done by the previous owner).

For what I paid I'm very happy with the results, my OCD is strong but happy now!

Thanks for the info i will give them a ring.
Wonder if they do a drive in and out service not to keen on getting the car on 4 jacks.
Cheers

Yes they do, I dropped the car off at 8am returned at 16.30 to collect. I also didn't fancy trying to lift the car myself.
