Nothing ages a car faster than kerbed, flaking wheels, and few things sharpen it up faster than putting them right. Done well, a refurb can look exactly as the wheel did when the car was new, or become something completely different in a colour of your choosing.
Preparation is where a refurb is won or lost, because skipping it is why cheap jobs bubble and peel within a year. We sand the wheels back and repair kerb damage, gouges and spot corrosion in-house by hand, refining the surface back to true and dressing out pitting. Where a wheel needs more than that, a full chemical strip or sandblasting, we manage that externally as part of the job, then take the repair and refinishing back in-house ourselves.
This is also where a refurb becomes a proper style change. The wheel is primed, refinished and sealed under a durable lacquer, in whatever colour or finish you want: a precise factory match, or a complete change to satin black, gunmetal, anthracite, gloss white or a bold custom shade to suit a wrap or respray. We also offer a carbon-effect finish applied by hydro dipping, and a painted diamond-cut-style finish that recreates that bright, precise two-tone look with paint and finishing rather than machining the face.
Because we're a styling studio as well as a refinisher, wheels are often part of a bigger picture, matched to a colour change, a set of painted calipers, or a wrap. We'll help you get the whole look right rather than treating the wheels in isolation.
Bring us one kerbed rim or a full set of four, and you'll get a straight answer on what's repairable, what the finish will look like, and what it costs before any work begins.
Send us a few photos of your wheels over WhatsApp and we'll come back with honest advice and a price.
Back better than new.

Yes, this is our bread and butter. Kerb scuffs, gouges and surface corrosion are repaired and sanded back by hand, then refinished, so the result looks factory rather than patched. If a wheel needs a full chemical strip we arrange that as part of the job. We will always tell you honestly what is repairable once we have seen the wheels.
A wide range, and this is where a refurb becomes a proper style change. We restore factory colours precisely or change them completely: satin black, gunmetal, anthracite, gloss white, or a bold custom shade to match a wrap or respray. We also offer a carbon-effect finish by hydro dipping and a painted diamond-cut-style finish. If the wheels are part of a bigger look with a wrap or painted calipers, we will help you tie it together.
Either works. Most people leave the car with us so we can remove, refurbish, balance and refit the wheels in one go. If you would rather bring the wheels off the car, that is fine too. We will sort the details when you book.
A standard colour refurbishment for a set is usually a couple of working days, and the painted diamond-cut finish takes a little longer as there are more stages. We never rush the prep or the curing, because that is what makes a refurb last. You will get a firm date when you book.
Light buckles can often be corrected. Cracks are a safety matter, so we inspect the wheel and tell you honestly whether it can be repaired safely or should be replaced. We will not refinish a wheel we do not think is safe to run.
A properly repaired, primed, refinished and lacquered wheel is built to take years of normal use. Our painted diamond-cut finish is sealed against corrosion, though like any wheel it is still vulnerable to fresh kerb damage. Looked after, it holds up well.
Yes. We can match a factory colour, match a wrap or respray for a coordinated build, or go fully custom with a shade you have in mind. We can also apply a carbon-effect finish by hydro dipping. Tell us the look you are after and we will confirm what is achievable when we see the wheels.
We offer a painted diamond-cut-style finish that gives that bright, precise two-tone look. We do not machine or lathe the wheel face, we recreate the effect with paint and finishing, then seal it. It takes a few more stages than a standard colour refurb, so allow a little longer.
