Alloy Wheel Refurb?

[Lyons]

No worries.

We just had a set of Mercedes wheels powder coated black and lacquered by Maine Surface Finishing in Dunloy. Really impressed. £60 + VAT per wheel, quick turnaround and a good job. The finish is tough!

Hi
have god time
Nu Luk seems to be a bit more expensive than the other 2, but i've never heard bad reports on any of them.

Guys would you be put off with repaired alloys? im looking at a set and both front wheels have been professionally repaired and the car doesn't shake on the road. Would if decrease the value of the wheels ? thanks

Not in the slightest - most alloys are going to have a repair at some stage in their lives.

personally I would rather my wheels didnt have a weld on them. unless I knew someone really good did the work maybe. But it would still niggle me.

 

[Gambit]

if it was properly repaired/welded and not just an aul blob weld on it - wouldnt bother me in slightest

Yea it isn't ideal. I will be getting them refurbed at some point so I can as Jason (stirrup) to check them out

To save starting yet another thread.....

Wheel refurb in the antrim/ballyclare/larne/carrick sorta area?

Nulook are not an option, I've found cobra customs and nu finish but is there any more to get a quote from?

 

[Neil_M]

I'd say Cobra are worth a look in those areas. I wouldn't let Nu Finish do a finger painting for me.

You also have the likes of Lester Engineering in Lisburn (they may have a new name) or Polished Alloys in Belfast.

Used Michael a few times before, great work but he’s a bit outta my way.
I’ve sent cobra a message too.
Cheers

There's a company near junction1 in Antrim called Nufinish (opposite the old enkalon building). I have heard they are good for basic wheel services, I don't think they could do diamond cut or Matt finish. I had some engine bay panels hydrodipped by the sister company and was well pleased. A few years ago now

Experience in all aspects of smart cosmetic and light damage repairs

I used cobra last year for a set of wheels, brilliant finish and he even went further to create the factory finish.

Cobra work on their Facebook page does look impressive. They also appear to have invested heavily in a lot of new kit as well. That wheel finish is superb @richie_mck

 

[Lyons]

They look fantastic. Are they dearer or how come you didn’t use them for the 330 wheels too?

Yeah he was more expensive but the finish is flawless, the bm winter wheels just didn’t need to be just as immaculate

@Andy888 the barrels were pretty bad in places too so he did well to leave them like that

 

[miniator]

Got sorted with Cobra as well, wheels look fantastic!

For anyone needing wheels done, cobra customs have an offer on until 31st Jan, £180 refurb up to 19". I fired over a set today so will see if they come out as good as before.

 

[andy9eleven]

Oh might just avail of this too. Thanks for posting up!

For a set? Is that just powder coating in one colour do you know?

Yeah for a set and I’d imagine one colour, I had to remind him of the deal though

Didn’t see the + VAT bit but still not bad

Might give them a shout as I want the diamond cuts on the M3 painted.

Although they are a dark grey colour at the back so ideally will need two colours but will give them a shout

Just wondering if you had got the wheels back from Cobra Customs yet and what you thought of the finish? Have a set of 4 19” wheels needing a colour change.

 

[colin84]

I thought the offer looked good, but it was +vat, and you could only leave the wheels only.

I got some wheels done that were in a seriously bad condition by Micheal @ polished alloys, and for a reasonable price. I will update with some pictures. He done a cracking job on them.
