Wanted them to do my Apex's but they're not spraying for a while due to staffing.

Heard good reports about their work though, and if they've got your style of wheels in stock, the exchange service is a good deal.

Just had the Apex's done at Wheel Repair Centre (WRC) in Bamber Bridge near Preston, and they've made a nice job.

I used pxwheels for mine...........they were great........used a nice sparkly silver.At first they looked to bright because the centre caps were obviously old.......so i bought new caps and looked really good.Top job and price

I had my wheels swapped there a few weeks back and they are like new.They are not set up yet to produce refurbed wheels because of a move.I'm sure there is a backlog too so i would say you will have a long wait.
Imo it is well worth the wait the car will not be off the road and the wheels they do are pristine.Also if you can get to Blackpool fitting is free.
