Wheel refurb - loan wheels?

[StreetHawk]

Does anybody know of a reputable wheel refurbisher who offers loan wheels while working on yours?

I can't be without the car at the moment but just bought mine and the curbed wheels are really bugging me. I'm in Crowthorne, Berkshire.

Cheers all :-)

Are there no Mobile Wheel Refurbishers in your area that come to you while the car is parked up and do the work in their van?

Yes been on the wicked wheels website but they only push back the tyre and do the face of the rim. I'm planning to keep this car for a while so I'm looking for a full refurb job, ie stripped back and powder coated.

I don't think it's possible for that to be done in a van, unless someone knows otherwise?

£70 a wheel for them to do a half arse job?

Are all of them like that, or maybe just the Franchisee you used?

Sorry i thought you just wanted the Kerbed Wheels refurbished.

I understand you needing the full McCoy.

 

If you want to spend having those you have nice, 

can you not purchase a set of Cheepos now  to use in the winter if there is winter,

to save the Newly Reburbished ones when there is salt on the roads?

I know of 2 people who have had mobile wheel people out and both lasted about a year before flaking. I dont think a proper job can be done in the back of a van in a couple hours.

Sorry but you are totally wrong,

a proper job can be done in a Van, in a Shed, in a Lock up or in a Paint shop in 2 hours.

But only if the person is good at what they do.

 

But what would i know, i was only a Qualified Painter. 

 

Like Mobile Touch Up Franchisees, it is the person, not the system being used that gives the results.

I may go down this route and find a cheap set and sell them on afterwards. Thanks for the input so far guys.

You can find places that refurb wheels in a day

Show up in the morning and drop car off

Then pick it up at the end of the day

I've got a set of 16" 112x 5 audi alloys you can borrow if you pick them up from me and drop them back when finished.

Thanks for the offer, much appreciated! I have a set of winter wheels lined up so should be all sorted.
