Hello All,

Looking for recommendations for refurbishing alloys in the East Midlands or surrounding area. The company I was looking at, wont mention them on here, have been poor at responding, so seeking alternatives.

There are a few in the NG area but would like to go with a safe option. Willing to pay top money but want the best in exchange.

Thanking you in advance.

Hi Darren,
Just got my car back today after a nasty kerbing on one of my diamond alloys, half way around the wheel, was refurbed by Wheelrite of Gosberton near Spalding. I hasten to add this damage was caused by the dealer and they paid for it so unaware of cost. I haven't inspected it with a fine tooth comb but looks very good to me. They have a FB page with some good feedback if it helps.

Mines going into the Wheel Specialist in Nottingham on Monday.
Heard good things about them, and so far have been very accommodating.

Having my new tyres sent there for them to fit after the refurb.

More than welcome to check them out when I get them back.

Highly recommend Mark Harnden at the Wheel Specialist in Nottingham. He done lots for me over the years. They know how to lift the cars properly as well.

I have used Lepsons for years on multiple vehicles and believe they offer a collection service if no depot local to you ...

Thank you so much for your recommendations. Would have no problem visiting any of the further businesses.

As it’s the closest, I’ll give Wheel Specialists a call on Monday.

Shame about my initial preference. They must be very busy. Was going to give them both wheels & calipers too. Will now gets calipers done at BCS & alloys afterwards.

Will report back on progress.

Thanks again. Much appreciated 👍
