Default Alloy Wheel Refurbishment

Hi all,


I'm looking to get my new wheels refurbed before putting new rubber on them.


I've seen good reviews on many places but whether these are genuine or not is difficult to tell. I have seen work from PaintIT in Billericay but wanted to see if anyone else has other recommendations?


Price wise, most I have seen are around the standard 45/55 a corner.


Many thanks

Just had the GP whels done by Pristine in Milton Keynes. They collect and deliver back to you mate. Very very good job.

Have had bad experiences of JPPolishing! lacquer peeled off after a couple of years on 2 sets of wheels.
Have used Paint it UK on 3 occasions and found them so much better.

I've used Alloy Art in Rochford a couple of times. The quality of their work is excellent, they have a quick turnaround and the prices aren't bad either!
I had the wheels done on my old car and had no problems for about 5 years:

(This is after about 2 years of them being done on my old car)


(This is about 3 months after they did my Prodrives)

I've used PaintIt and Alloy Art and both sets of wheels were done to a high standard. Only difference was price. Alloy Art were cheaper
