Default Alloy Wheel Repairs and Colour Resprays

Managed to lightly kerb another alloy so it was time to use my local Wicked Wheels again, who prev did a perfect job on a Mille Miglia Evo 5 (booo hissss from the Volk fans!)

That time they came out in their van, but they now have a unit up in Crawley as well, where they are just in process of installing all the equipment to allow them to powder coat wheels in any colour you like (pics from phone):



and of interest to Gazzer, they're also apparently the only place that can repair his split rim XKR alloys - they had a couple in there that they'd just finished.

As before, the work they did on my wheel was excellent, cannot tell where the damage was.

Excellent.

Rough prices? Timescales?

My two front alloys are scuffed now and need refurbing.

They're also one of the few places that deal with the new M3 wheels, which looked particularly difficult to deal with - they had several in there, so I'd be surprised if they can't do yours.

Rough refurb cost is

might be worth looking into then.. the problem isn't the shape or complexity, but the finish. A lot of places say they can't do them apparently cause of the finish. But there is a slight difference between the S50 ans S54 models, so maybe they will be able to do mine.. only got 1 or 2 slight marks on mine (before I bought it of course )
