What is Alloy Wheel Refurbishment?

It can involve sanding, filling, painting or powder coating. Diamond-cut wheels need special lathe work. Tyres and TPMS sensors are usually removed first. A pressure test confirms that refurbished wheels hold air properly.

How it works

Damaged areas are removed and repaired, then a new protective coating is applied.

Why it matters for your car

Cracked or bent wheels may not be safe to repair. Check balance and air-tightness after refurbishment.
