I have searched the Noble forum but can't seem to find the name of the company that has done some of our wheels in the past.

They are in or around Aylesbury.

Can anyone remember there name?

Rob (AMGMERC) you found them first if I recall?

The company I have used many times is BJV Engineering. Wheels come back better than new

I want to use BJV as they did mu other wheels and the wheel nut cover. the spare set don't have the cover so want them to match.

Also I just called them and about £35 per wheel smile

£35 per wheel sounds cheap. Is that painted or powder coated?

Auto Wheels do powder coating for £70 per wheel, but the centre caps would be wet sprayed as you can't powder coat plastic.

Poweder coated I think, these are GTO wheels and a std metalic grey/black. nothing special.

I'm surprised it was that as I'm sure I paid £45 last time smile

My first one's were £60 each (this included £10 per wheel to melt the plastic studs out - needed two goes) so sounds cheap?

Rob, your wheels were chrome black and much more intricate as the std GTO wheels. Thats why smile

Stupid question of the night - how are you guys getting your wheels refurbed?

By dropping off the whole car OR by having a spare set available?
Perhaps they can do refurb and colour change in a mobile van?

This is how I did it :



This time it's a spare set.

Just realised another reason why mine will be a bit cheaper, it's because I have no tyres on them.
