alloy refurbing?

[C4RSA]

I have 4 alloys i need refurbing, anyone know how much its going to cost me, the only damage is too the outer rims due to kerbage on all all 4 rims.Anyone know of any companies who come to your huse and do it for you.

P.s sold my corsa wahay!!!

What colour are the rims? What's the finish, and how bad?

Basically, the worse they are, the more it costs.

The better the finish, the more it costs.

If they are just nibbles on a plain simple silver wheel, then about £25 a rim to repair. Please bear in mind there is often a charge for removing the tyre, replacing the valve and rebalancing to go on top of this, but it all depends on the repairer.

I had to pay £45 a rim for my reflexes, because of the fitting/balancing, and because they also are high power silver finish.

damn ill av to pay for the tyres to be remved aswell, is there no way of doing it yuorself like touchup paint or some sort of kit you can buy?

Halfrauds do sell a wheel repair kit, and for small scrapes I hink it's not a bad investment, but to refurb 4 wheels, you gotta be kidding :lol:

quite hard to build the alloy back out tho. chips away and other similar companies will come to you, but there is of cause a charge.

ring lab-tab as they do a courier service, and could get you some replacement steelies whilst yours are away being refurbed.

lab-tab, will have to try them if they offer replacement wheels at the same time

chips away quoted me £50 + vat for each wheel, but would paint them star silver to match my car which i thought was good, he knew his stuff like
