Alloy Repairs?

[bountyhunter]

Hi guys,

Just signed up to this club

I have a white Celica GT on a N plate and must say i am loving it. It has a full body kit ( not sure which one although i was told it was a TRD one?) .

the one thing that lets the car down are the wheels, well 2 wheels to be precise. I have a set of 18" Torra platinums but like i said 2 need refurbishing.

Does anyone know where and how much im looking at to get them done?

I am in the Bucks area if anyone can help.

Cheers guys

Not a clue about the price for refurbing the wheels. But welcome to the club.

Why not get some pic's up of your car, we'll quickly be able to tell you what bodykit's on it.

Best to do a search on google for "alloy wheel refurbishment" or similar. There are loads of places about, it's just a case of finding someone near you. Be careful when comparing prices - most places don't include removing an refitting tyres in the standard price, and some charge silly money on top. It might be better to wait until the tyres need replacing, some tyre and exhaust places will remove and dispose of your old ones for free, even if you don't have new ones fitted straight away.

It's miles from you, but might give you a ball park figure to work with.

Stockton on Tees.....company called Romax do wheel refurbs. The price depends on what you want, but generally ranges between 150 and 250 per set of 4. This includes tyre removal, blasting and cleaning, powder coating, tyre refit, wheel balance and all back on the car.......same day ! Drop the car off in the morning, pick it up in the afternoon. Top service !

I know nothing about this site in the link below, just saw their name on the side of a van and the website is under construction but there is an email address. You could check if they are national or just up here.

What about this place, it's not too far from you:

Althernatively, Lap-tab in birmingham seem to have a good reputation.

It looks like your wheels are chrome finish though, which may make them difficult/expensive to repair.
