What is powder coating?
This is a method of painting by which electrically charged powder paint is applied via a high voltage low ampere power unit to a grounded work piece i.e. alloy wheel. Electrostatic attraction holds the powder onto the coated part. The coated part is then heated in an industrial oven at 200 degrees which then melts/fuses the powder onto the alloy wheel. This results in a very durable, scratch resistant high gloss finish, which is 3 times stronger than solvent based wet paints. Unlike wet paints it contains no solvents and is therefore very environmentally friendly.

Will my wheels look as good as new?
If you were to closely compare a wheel that we have refurbished to a brand new wheel, you may be able to see a slight difference, but otherwise to all intents and purposes your wheels will look as good as new. 
The quality of the finish however does depend on the condition of the wheels (see our Terms & Conditions). We do however guarantee to improve your wheels significantly and of course the finish is guaranteed for 12 months.

What colours can you do?
We have a wide range of colours and finishes that we are continually adding to. In theory you can have any colour you like, there is certainly no law against it! As well as many colour options we also offer two tone transitions, sparkling starburst and fluorescent finishes to make your car really stand out from the crowd!

Can you refurbish any make of wheel?Almost certainly, although there are so many manufacturers that there are bound to be some makes that we have not yet refurbished. If your wheels are particularly unusual in any way, send us a photograph and details (make, diameter, composition – alloy, steel and finish required) we will be pleased to let you know.

Does the finish last?
The simple answer is yes. Thanks to the durable and very robust acrylic lacquer applied the colour is maintained and the gloss retains its lustre. The lacquer also helps to repel break dust and makes it easier to keep your alloys clean.

Can you match my centre caps?
We can paint a similar colour in a wet paint on plastic caps and powder coat metal caps. However it is important that they are in good condition in order for us to refurbish them. If they are badly damaged we can supply new ones at very reasonable cost.

Do you replace valves?
Yes, we supply new valves with all refurbished alloy wheels fitted to tyres.

Can you supply and fit tyres?
Yes, if you let us know in advance the tyre size, speed rating, and preferred make. We stock a huge range of tyres, from new premium and budgets along with London’s largest range of quality part worn tyres.

Can you repair bent or cracked wheels?
No, we don`t recommend straightening or welding wheels. It is always best to replace. It is easy to cover over a crack by welding but the wheel will still have a weak spot.

How long does it take?
On average a full set of wheels takes 2 to 3 days.

Can I use the vehicle straight away afterwards?
Yes. Once the wheels are on the car, the vehicle is ready to go.

What is the repair process?
The wheels are repaired, re-primed, powder coated, baked and refitted to your car.

Do you do motorcycle wheels?
Yes we do. You will need to have the tyres, spindles and bearings removed before you bring them to us.

Do you provide a courier service?
No we do not! But you are more than welcome to send your wheels via courier service to us we cannot be held responsible for any damage caused to your wheels whilst with a courier. We do provide a collection and delivery service locally.

What is the best way to look after my alloys?
Quite simply a mild detergent like fairy liquid and hot water with a clean sponge. You will be amazed at how easily the dirt lifts of our powder coated finishes. We do not recommend the use of alloy wheel cleaners as most of these are acid based and will in time attack and break down the lacquer coatings. There are many specially formulated wheel waxes available which you apply approximately every 6 weeks which will prevent any break dust and dirt sticking to your wheels. Always allow your wheels to cool down before cleaning them.

Do refurbished wheels add value to a car?
In the vast majority of cases the answer is yes because newly-refurbished wheels will greatly improve the overall appearance of the car. The higher the value of the car to start with the greater the reality that refurbishing the wheels will increase its value.
Many car traders have said that their customers see the condition of the wheels on a car as an indication of how the car has been treated. Therefore having the wheels refurbished can potentially achieve a higher value on sale.
