Alex HMB Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I went to MyAlloys in Basingstoke. £60+vat per wheel. Centre caps £8+vat each. One wheel needed straightening which was £25+vat. Seemed like a good professional business, quite a big place with lots of cars there - some of which were very expensive! As there was some corrosion they advised against the standard matt silver finish and instead advised a sparkly silver colour. They cleaned up the corrosion and the edges (which look perfect now), then did a powder coat base, paint, then powder lacquer. Wheels are spot on apart from the fact that where the straightening process (I assume) left some indentations combined with some little raised bits they did not smooth them off before painting. On the inside of the rim so can't really be seen. I had tyres sent there from black circles (cheaper than from MyAlloys) and they fitted them at no additional cost. Here's a couple of pics: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben–350Z Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 I used Wheel Genie to sort the wheels on my last two cars, they're in Huntingdon IIRC. Fixed some pretty heavy kerbing on my Focus ST's wheels, like new when they came back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
