Spoke to SMART ALLOYS in Coed Cae Lane, Llantrisant. Seem like a good bunch will be testing their product soon.

There is a place in Newport that does it but don't know what they're called.

A mate of mine took his Lexus wheels to be refinished at a place near George Street Bridge (newport) and they made a mess of them, can't remember what they're called.

The place i work at have used Renowheel to repair Aston Martin wheels and made a very good job of them too. Don't think they're that cheap though (but then it was an AM!) Hope that helps!

Default Wheel referb

Evening guys, and girls. I am new to the scooby scene, although I do know Kev from way back. Still do a bit of free lance spanner work for a private Subaru WRC. Anyway, back to the subject, the wheel people in Newport are not that clever. Yes your right they made a mess of my work mates Lexus wheels. Try the one in Llantristant, I have heard good things.

Wac.

Not mine but he is local and seeing them in the flesh and "doing a cash deal" is a good way to go!!!

I agree but how do I find him? Can't seem to find any 'ask seller a question' type link as the auction has ended.

Had a reply from him, cheers Ian.

Thinking about it. Very tempting, as 4 new Toyos alone must cost £3-400.

He's in Pontypridd, drives an RB & his names Gavin .... uncanny !
