Roxys' first ding.

Well its taken longer than I expected given it looked like someone had attacked all 4 wheels on her old car with a grinder but, aapparently the mrs was run off the road a few days ago (I've been driving 13 years and never been run off the road...in her micra it apparently happened nearly weekly but I digress...). Anyway the formally Immaculate alloys (1900 mile old) now have kerbing damage. My first thoughts are it isn't too bad, there are some nips out of the rim unfortunately. With this design of wheel can they be repaired/refinished? Anyone know somewhere in Newcastle that does them?

That old chestnut I know misshans dad repaired hers himself must be nice to be handy , not sure anywhere local.

[StevenRB45]

Anymore for anymore? Slightly out of ideas, but do think it needs sorting as don't want water getting under the finish.

[Hyperkev]

Be something on the web I guess

[WTF]

Where abouts are you? I know of quite a few places you could try

High spen, so about 10 minutes out from Blaydon.

[WTF]

Sent a message and the picture of your wheel to a company called Alloy Pro based in Newcastle. They do mobile repairs.

This is a Bellone they repaired;





Will let you know what they say

Thank you very much, don't suppose you know if they'll need the wheel for a few days or whether they do it on the day? I did insist on the OH optioning the spare wheel but not a fan of wheel barrow wheels for any length of time.

[WTF]

Think they do it on the day there and then

Just a quick word of advice... mobile wheel refurbs are unlikely to restore the diamond cut finish...

would you have to look at the 3 day type places? circa £60 a wheel?

[Rob@SandallCarCare]

Well, we send the wheels away to a specialist. We are charged at £85 per wheel. Now, I'm not saying that is cheap, but please do be sure they can machine the diamond cut finish.

They wouldn't to do via mobile refurb

They replied to me last night and I passed all the details onto Steven so I'm not the middle person passing messages on

[StevenRB45]

I'll have to have a word and see what they say about the finish as unfortunately one of the "diamond finish" sections has a small amount of damage although most of it is in the black painted areas. Now I just need a day where I can borrow the damn thing...
