Can anyone recommend a wheel refurb place in the West Mids?
Chris

If Wolverhampton is any good then the place used/recommend by the Rim King (aka Greenouse) and RebRobin should be able to help.

cheers - Wolverhampton just up the road although being a Baggies boy i run the risk of self destructing when I enter the territory of the Wolves Fans :grin:
-
the wheel specialists near fort dunlop are good , see lap tab on the net :happy2:
-
yeah i've looked at lap tab before but they wanted almost the price of a set of alloys to refurb a set.

I've also found them very inflexible. Almost as if they have a 'menu' and you can't have anything that's not on it! :indifferent:
-
So Greenouse do you rate the place in Wolverhampton?
Im looking for a polished finish lacqured and the inners to be colour coded Steal Grey or as close as.

This topic has been extensively covered it is very very hard to get a match, SteveP got one of his done recently for 50 squid and was very happy i believe with the results. :happy2:

Well gave A1 a call and also got a quote off Dav at PureKLAS http://www.pureklas.co.uk/
I wanted a refurb with diamond cut face with colour coded inserts:
A1 have quoted me £105 per wheel £420 in total
PureKLAS cant do the finish I wanted but have suggested a polished finish all over including the inserts for £70 a wheel £280 all in and there not that far away Coventry.
So come Jan my wheels are off to PureKLAS for an overhall :happy2:
BTW there sites worth a look some stunning wheels on there!
-
I agree there is some nice rims on there. :drool:
Evvo if you decide to change your votex kit for something different next year can i have first dibs. :santa:

I went to lap tab in birmingham! They're pricey but well worth it! Well chuffed with the results, £240 quid for gloss black with chrome valves

^ Smoked Chrome on black, by Nigel at A1 - I can't recommend them highly enough! He understood exactly what I wanted and produced it.
