Anyone doing wheel refurbs at the minute?

[RWL]

Well, she got almost two weeks out of them, so back on the hunt for another offer from Bodyworx

These are the two fronts btw, it was apparently tight on the way in and later on the way out of the car park

I’ve got to the point now that I only tidy things on her car when I’m selling it! Waste of time during ownership as it only gets damaged multiple times over

Mine kerbed one wheel within 24 hours. Tbh I wasn’t even mad, I’ve just accepted these things in life.

Grey on grey. Wasn’t my choice but I quite like it.

That is nice alright, but that is not the normal result of grey on grey, complete freak occurrence.

Def stick to silver @lennyd !

Tell me about it ffs her car has had more hits than the Beatles. It goes back next month too.

Does anywhere near Belfast/Lisburn paint wheels and also polish lips? Or is it a case of just getting them a bright silver all over these days?

Just had mine done in powdertek. £264 for the full set. Left the car in yesterday morning and got a call this morning to say it was ready, couldn’t recommend enough

 

[big_pete]

Powdertek really are first class and mega quick turnaround times too. They are the one exception to the cheap, quality and fast rule. I couldn’t recommend them enough

Had my 4 19" rims refurbished at Autoworx Lurgan a few weeks back, did a great job and nice bunch of people to do business with and easily paid. Certainly recommend.

Did you have to give them much notice? I am looking to get the wife’s wheels done but she can’t make up her mind when she wants it done.

I gave them around a couple of weeks notice but only because I knew I was going away for a few days and wanted to have them done when I was away.
They usually turn them round in a couple of days. They are very accommodating so give them a call.

Got mine back from bodyworx on thurs. Will get a proper look at them tomorrow when I throw a dirty sponge and some fairy liquid over the motor tomorrow

I have a jetski trailer that I'm improving and the 10 wheels are a little rusty so I called Bodyworx about getting them blasted and painted.......I figured an hour's work.

£65 plus vat each!!!.........£156 WTF. 2 new ones with tyres are £150

Looks like I'm going to have to get the lid off the hamerrite tin

 

[mike150]

An hour with a wire brush, emery, newspaper and a can of zinc aerosol

Same price as for my 19s

 

[mike150]

Painting the trailer wheels was the last job on the list. Nothing else to do now but wait for warm sunny days again.............

 

[Lyons]

Last week would’ve been good for it.

Yet they wanted £156 from me for doing 2 10" trailer wheels and they didn't need balanced or lacquered, just blasted and painted
