Default Alloy wheels refurb?

Hi

My alloys look to have been painted black with a paint brush, every time I clean my car some of the paint comes off and is now at the point of needing either returning, or new wheels...

Can anyone recommend anyone around Wrexham area that could sandblast/chemically treat and re paint properly?

Either that or I need to purchase new... But love the black look so not interested in any silver wheels

Although not close to you I would recommend this company, they give a great service and wheel finish plus they have a great range of colours and the cost is only £20 per wheel.

All you need to do is solve getting the wheels to them, give them a call they might be able to help.

There`s a place in Rhostyllen and one in Rhosddu. There`s also a cheap place up the road from me in Summerhill next to NKS where I have all the work done on my Scooby.

Default Alloys refurbishment in W Yorks

The wheels on my blob STi are looking pretty tired. There is minor kerbing on a couple, a dent in the rim on one (I hit a brick on the road ) and mild corrosion.

I tried contacting a local company called Rims and Trims but they said they can't deal with corrosion, which rather surprised me.

I don't particularly want new wheels but is it possible to get these refurbished for materially less than it would cost me to buy new ones? There is a nice set of Inovits on eBay for just under £400 so there isn't a great deal of point in refurbishing mine if it costs almost that much.

Does anyone have any recommendations for places in West Yorks for this (preferably near Leeds)?
