Ladies & Gentlemen,

Several threads exist about alloy wheel refurbs, so I got to thinking... What if some of us could club together in a GB to save a few quid on alloy wheel refurbs? smile

Anyway, I now have a contact at the East Kilbride office of 'the wheel specialist' (following a glowing review from an Edinburgh-based PH'er...) and they have very kindly agreed to offer us a group buy for £200/car (saving £64), if we can find ten people to take up this offer.

Ideally, I'd like another nine of you to come forward (I'm in smile) and keep it with the Scotland PH chapter, but we could offer it to reliable friends, Scottish Elises, etc.. Heck, let's make a day of it and I'll even bring some cakes, pies & scotch eggs for your delectation too!

Details/Conditions:-

  • Your vehicle in, tyres stripped, wheels refurbished then tyres re-fitted and balanced.
  • A 'new tyre' service is availble if interested/required.
  • All 'standard finishes' are offered for wheels up to and including 19”.
  • Standard finishes include; Black Chrome, Charcoal/Anthracite, Flash Chrome, Gloss or Matt Black, Gloss White, Hi-Power Silver, Power Silver, Smoked 307, Smoked Chrome, TWS Chrome, Gold, Silver and TWS Sport 1, 2 or 3 (see link below).
  • Your final choice of finish can be chosen 'on the day'.
  • 20”+ wheels can be included, but will cost extra (I can email to request price).
  • Additional charges will be incurred for anything over and above a 'standard' finish, i.e. polished rim, coloured rim, pinstriping, etc (I can email to request price).
  • A Minimum of 10 sets are required to trigger this discount, with TWS requiring all 10 bookings to be confirmed and carried out over a two week period (as yet to be discussed).
  • A 'same day' service is available.
  • This is for refurbishment of the whole wheel, not just the visable edges, unlike some cheaper repairs.
  • The service carries a 12 month guarantee on their work.
  • Fully Insured vehicles, technicians, etc.
All details, finishes, FAQ, etc on their website TWS Linky and you can also PM me with any questions, requirements, etc and i'll get back to you.

C'mon you lot - any takers?

^^ Oi! Start your own thread! hehe

TWS is a powdercoated finish and as you said, some other specialists known as 'high quality', (such as powdertech) want in excess of 300 quid.

We fell well short of ten...

I pressed on and had my wheels done yesterday - PM me if you want some detailed pics... the finish is excellent.

Paid the full 264 quid.

To be fair, I didn't mind; full wheel & bare metal powdercoat and the finish and service was great. Plus the likelihood of having enough cash during the next few months to do it is unlikely, so it was kinda 'now or never'.

I reckon if you were cheeky enough to named-drop this thread to the girl I spoke to, a wee discount might not be out of the question...

I'll PM you pics & the contact details. thumbup
