I’m based in Norfolk. Had read about a company on the forum you could send them to by courier but can’t now seem to find it.

Thanks.

Haven't seen that one but unless you have some very high end wheels and this is a specialist wheel refurbishment workshop it's not going to be worth the time or effort in doing that. Posting them there alone is going to cost you a third of what a local place would charge for the whole refurb.

Hopefully someone can recommend a decent place local to Norfolk

B A Wheels in Norwich, did a complete set on daughters Alfa and the fronts on wifes Z4. Powder coated finish very pleased. 01603 610007. Also do diamond cut, but no experience of that.

Think it may have been Lepsons in Gillingham?

Hi all, rather than a new thread I thought jump on this one, can anyone recommend a good wheel refurb company close to Oxford and Witney? I have Oxford Performance Auto very near, and good reviews online, anyone with experience here? Have 4 19” wheels in need of refurb and want to respect in an OEM colour, not sure if that’s a hard ask for some refurb places to match the paint properly?

They should know what paint colour it is. On my 2015 335i my 19s have a diamond cut and lacquered face, and the sides of the spokes are Ferric Grey Light, and I'd think any half decent wheel place will know this. Ideally visit a couple of places, get quotes and ask about colours and finishes, how long they'd need to do the job etc.

Just to note, there’s a Ferric Grey and a Ferric Grey II
I can’t remember which one is on the wheels, like you have said, the wheel shop should know or be able to work it out easily.

If anyone lands here looking for a recommendation in Sheffield area - RS wheels are great.

I had one of my wheels refurbed by Wheelshine in Yeovil. Not much use to you, but costwise as a guide it was £90 for a diamond alloy. They blast it, grind it, fill any deep scars, then powder coat it electrostatically, pop it in the oven, skim off the paint to expose the outer alloy face then powder coat again with lacquer then oven bake it again. TBH if you are getting all four done then forget diamond alloy, just get them all powder coated a lot less trouble.
