Process

•   Collection and delivery (available on request) or you can visit our Sheffield workshop.
•   Loans wheels fitted free of charge if you are having a full wheel refurbishment on all four of your wheels*.
•   Wheels are removed from the vehicle and tyres, weights and valves are removed too.
•   Alloys are dipped into a chemical stripping bath to remove all current paint, dirt and grime bringing the alloy back to the bare aluminium.
•   After chemical stripping, the wheels are washed and put into the preparation system where all corrosion and damage are repaired and treated and then the alloys are shot blasted to ensure the alloy is clean again.
•  Next, the wheels go through a comprehensive three-coat oven process. This includes both powder and water-based products that are applied to ensure the perfect colour is achieved - which can be back to the manufacturers colour coding, one of our standard colours or a striking custom   colour of your choice.
•  Alloys are then lacquered to a finish of your choice, this could be high-gloss, satin or matt finish.
• All our wheels are quality assurance checked by an experienced team member before your tyres are re-fitted, balanced and refitted to your vehicle (if applicable).
• Free loan wheels when having a full refurbishment, if loan wheels are damaged (curbed) charges may apply. Not applicable for smart repair.

Corrosion can happen behind your wheel even if it hasn’t been curbed or damaged, it may even look fine from the alloy face. corrosion can cause tyres to leak air. With our full refurbishment we remove corrosion and prevent it returning with 12 months warranty given
