Alloy Wheel Refurb Process

A job sheet is created with all requirements and customer details (with or without tyres)
The tyres, valves, weights and centre caps are all removed from the wheels and placed in a job bag
Tyre Pressure Monitoring Sensors (TPMS) are checked for faults and battery life
Tyres and centre caps are labelled ready for storage
The wheels are checked for wear and damage e.g.. cracks and/or buckles
We notify our customer if any such damage is identified or if any tyres are below the legal limit
For identification purposes the wheels are stamped inside

Using an eco-friendly chemical we strip the whole wheel of any paint
The wheels are then thoroughly washed with another chemical and Vapour blasted as necessary. We avoid Shot blasting as it can be detrimental to alloy material
The wheels at this point are repaired of any damage, buckles, cracks and scuff damage
The wheels are then inspected thoroughly again as part of our quality control prior to the spraying process

Wheels are prepped and sanded down accordingly
The next stage is to apply the colour as per customers request whether it be OEM or a custom colour
Diamond turned wheels will be processed at this stage
The wheels are powder lacquered and cured before cooling down.

The wheels are inspected in accordance to our quality guidelines
The valves (including TMPS) are refitted to the wheels at this stage
Legal tyres are then refitted back on the wheels where supplied
Wheels with legal tyres will then be re-balanced using adhesive aluminium metal weights, and centre caps fitted
Finally the wheels will be packaged for delivery or placed back onto the vehicle if it was left with us
