Our Process

The tyre is inspected for undue wear, and any unsafe tyres are reported to the customer. This is important, as we will not refit unsafe or illegal tyres at the end of the process. Early notification will give the customer the opportunity to either source replacements themselves, or leave it to us to provide a competitively priced alternative.

The wheel is then checked for cracks, stress fractures, bends & buckles. At this stage we will advise the customer of any wheels that we consider to be unroadworthy, or beyond economic repair Any remedial work and costings will be notified at this stage.

The wheel is finally stripped of all weights, valve, and any stick on decals. Wheels with tyre pressure sensor equipment, have them marked to ensure correct replacement, if we are aware at delivery, of the original positions on the vehicle.

They are then placed in an aqueous wash machine to remove remaining paint, and chemical residue, and finally flash dried.

We now have a completely clean wheel free of any contaminants.

This "gentle giant", has the capability to massage the whole surface of the wheels, without any degradation of the fine profiling, and essential lettering.

Using a number of processes the wheel is prepared for painting.

If the damage is particularly bad, then the area is filled with aluminium weld, and re-worked to return it to its original shape & profile.

Once applied, the wheels are reheated, to ensure the powder primer can cure, and form a strong resilient coating, that only a powder process can achieve.

The vast majority of wheels are finished in various shades of silver. We use the same paint as supplied to the best wheel manufacturers in Europe, and we can be confident of the quality and match. Paint is applied in an enclosed dust free booth.

However, your colour choice is endless, as we have in-house water based mixing capabilities.

So you are only limited by your imagination, and how bold you want to be!

This coat is again stoved in the oven to ensure a full cure, and crystal clear finish.

With the emergence of ever lower profile tyres & runflats, it was critical that we invested in the best equipment available.

We have the capability to refit tyres up to 24"diameter & 11" wide, certainly sufficient for anything we have seen to date.

Finally the wheels are balanced, always using stick on weights on the inside of the wheel.

If we have had the vehicle on site, then the wheels are refitted, set to the correct settings, and torqued to the correct pressure.

Should the car be fitted with a tyre pressure system, then whenever possible this will be reset.
