It started out as "you never let me drive your car" "Oh go on then" says I.

I cannot repeat what I said as she kerbed my rear nearside alloy

Anyone recommend me someone to refurb it in Cheshire or S.Man area or even Wirral.

Not those areas as such but just off J6 M61 Chorley turn off is:

Brilliant service, great prices and top guy whose firm it is. Used Wheelrite on 3 cars (sometimes a few times on each car for reasons similar to yours ).

Not used him on the RR though (thanks Mrs pld )

A proper job

Thanks pld. I'll google him. It's worth the trip for a good job.

He can be very busy but he is worth coming and going with. He's a really nice guy. He will do a cosmetic wheel face repair or tyre off, acid strip, shot blast, powdercoat, paint finish of your choice and lacquer finish. If you have the full tyre off refurb, you should get the wheel back like its just out of the factory.

He did 4 x 20" Q7 wheels for us, full refurb for £280 incl tyres on, off and wheels balanced but that was a couple of years ago so price increases might apply.

If it was me, I would not leave the finish at the powder coat stage and would pay the little extra for the paint finish of your choice followed by lacquer

If you hit a brick wall contacting him, let me know and I'll try and get you an intro.

Chap who runs wheelrite is Stephen Cooper - I spoke to him a couple of weeks ago re. a full refurb for a set of supercharged alloys I got from eBay

Seems a really good bloke and £70 per wheel for a full shot blast and refurb seems very reasonable (or you can get just the face refurbed for £50)

When I finally pull my finger out, my supercharged alloys will be going there - IIRC they offer courier collection as part of the price - bargain! 2007 Zermatt Silver TDV8 Vogue SE - now sold but was a great car!

Doh, pld has beaten me to it!! 2007 Zermatt Silver TDV8 Vogue SE - now sold but was a great car!

Chaps.. For the small difference in price, my recc's would be get the full refurb as you'll be delighted with having 'a new wheel' back... And then when [someone] inevitably clips it lightly, thereafter, just go for the face being redone then ...

Steve's a gent. Honest, reliable and proud of his reputation. He'll not let you down
