Alloy Wheel Refurb

I'm looking for a descent alloy wheel refurb place in the London/kent area, does anyone have any contacts who gives a good price and more importantly a good job.

SS - If you have 19 inch wheels it might be cheaper to buy a second set on ebay with the added bonus of new tyres too! I'm sure someone will recommend a wheel refurb company soon. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

They're 20" Supercharged std alloys - I've booked the car in for Monday with a firm who dealt with my Porsche GT3 split rim alloys and done a great job, just managed to dig out their details.... will let you know how it goes with before and after shots.

2008 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Stornoway Grey

Spit and Polish in Tonbridge - 01732 367771.
Reasonable prices and used by the local Porsche, Audi & Bentley dealers - I paid c£45 + Vat for a a wheel from an S4 - maybe more for one from a RRS. ______________________________________________

The Spit & Polish franchises get a lot of work from BMW dealers too... I've heard good things about them.

I personally used Wicked Wheels to refurb the wheels on my RRS before it went - did a great job, but it looks like you're sorted now

Thanks Short Final, I was also looking for this service and as I live near Tonbridge (West Malling) I will give them a look.
Though I may wait until my wife graunches the fourth wheel first!

Ok, the wheels are done, well all but one which needs a new tyre so I thought I'd replace that before its refurbed... here are the pictures before and after:

Before:

After:

The company I used aren't a franchise, which I frankly prefer for that personal experience. The company I used mainly work in the South London, Kent & Surrey areas - A1 Alloys The guy who came out to me was John and we chatted away whilst he worked throughout the afternoon. For anyone that wants the details just PM me, you won't be disappointed! :thumbsup:
