Gemini wheel refurb (Leeds) - and what colour?

[Dave77]

Hi all, my Gemini's are in dire need a refurb. The tyre fitted yesterday said 1 was so badly pitted it may be beyond repair 😞 Will try anyway!

 

There's so many refurb companies in Leeds, is there any that anyone can recommend please?

Also, still undecided on colour 🤔 It's for a white estate so was thinking maybe satin black or gunmetal grey

Just had my 2014 Octavia wheels (Teron I think) refinished at Smart Repairs on Kirkstall road as they had become persistently leaky. Refurbed in the original silver, did think about going a shade or two darker but as mine is the bright silver paintwork decided factory finish looked best.

 

Son had his done last month and he opted for a dark gun metal (guy on the counter said 'makes a change from drug dealer black'). On his fire engine red estate they set it off a treat. In both cases, tyre pressure been rock solid since the refurb. Cost was 360 for 4 wheels including vat. 

 

Both really impressed with the quality of work done, took them about 2-3 days once they had the car. 

 

Also had them priced up at a place in Seacroft called wheel surgery, a bit more pricey but the quality of their work was superb based on the wheels they had in the shop.

I went for The Wheel Specialist in the end in Garforth, other side of Leeds to me but they had great reviews. The online quote was £380 with 10% off if you booked within 3 days so was about £340. 

 

They did a great job, one of the vrs alloys was badly pitted but came up well. 24hr job, drop off at 4pm, pick up next day at 4pm! I went for Charcoal/Anthracite, lost the diamond cut but looks great 👍
