Alloy wheel refurbishment advice.
I am possibly thinking about have the alloy wheels on my ZT-T refurbished sometime this year. If I decide to have them done it will need to be somewhere local to me as I will need to have the wheels removed off my car and leave it with them whilst the wheels are done.
Has anyone used this company? http://www.proalloys.co.uk Also does anyone have any thoughts about wheel colour such as going for original sparkle silver or something different? Thanks Clyde |

I've seen worked carried out by these on other forums and it looks of very high quality and the posters were immensely happy with the results

Personally Clyde, I would stick to silver for your car, but it's your decision

I tend to agree, wheels should be silver, or in certain circumstances black, grey wheels etc always look dirty in my opinion.
Factory sparkle silver is my vote. |

Website looks good, courtesy cars available ( a rarity) and prices about normal.
They are not a franchise which I believe is good.... Choice of colour Silver Sparkle, having seen various newly refurbished wheels in this finish at meets, done well they look superb. |

Thanks for the reply Jordan, it is really good to know other people have had their wheels done and been happy with the results.

I've had steel grey wheels on my 75 for a couple of years now. Still like them but next time they're refurbished, next year if I still have the car, I'm thinking of the original liquid silver used on facelifts rather than silver sparkle. I do agree colours are subjective. I don't think my wheels would work well on a darker coloured car but look fine on a Starlight Silver one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
