Wheels refurbed

[HughSurrey]

One of the issues with the A209 I bought was the wheels, which were two piece jobs which had suffered corrosion on the outer rim (which looked as if it had been diamond cut originally) and a fair few chips on the centres. I got them back today and am more than pleased with the outcome.

Who did them?

Who did them?

I have just had a set done by BJV engineering in Herts, about 10 mins from M25 JCT 18, and am very happy. They get a lot of recommendations on here and are very reasonably priced.

Who did them?

They were done by Wheel Works in Crawley (Manor Royal). The guy was very straight, told me up front of the issues he might have ( broken bolts while separating the components, filling the bad corrosion on the rims ) and what it would cost, we agreed a baseline (2 bolts broken per wheel) after which I would consider them 'beyond economical repair' and he quoted a time (and came up a day early due to the bank holiday tomorrow). All in all, highly recommended.

Been a wee while since I was called that

They look really good. Excellent colour choice. I have used Wheel Works many times and always found them to be excellent.

They look wonderful, wish that I lived closer to Wheel Works

My other half had the wheels on his M5 done there, they did a good job, they were telling me when I went up with him a lot of people with prestige cars go there to have tyres fitted as Crap-fit often make a mess of it....

That said they did say they cant do wheels where part of it is power coated and part is exposed polished alloy, like mine, I'd have to have it all powder coated if I ever needed their services,...

They may have changed on that, as he did mention getting the outer rim face diamond cut on mine as they were originally, but I am led to believe that the laquer coat is not as robust as powder coat. I think the ones in the pic may have originally been polished on the outer rim, and you can see the difference in corrosion levels.
