Discover Alloy Wheel Refurbishment

If you’re wondering if it's worth refurbishing your alloy wheels, the answer is absolutely YES! Not only does a good refurbishment help to restore the aesthetic appeal of your ride, but it also helps to prevent further damage from exposure.

Alloys are made out of aluminium and magnesium alloys and are often coated with a clear protective layer that prevents oxidation. Although these coatings provide long-lasting protection against corrosion, they can become scuffed or scratched over time through regular wear and tear from potholes or gravel roads. Refurbishing your alloys will help maintain their appearance while protecting against further damage from the elements.

The benefits of alloy wheel refurbishment don’t end there either. Wheel refinishing ensures that your car meets road safety standards as cracked or corroded wheels can be dangerous when travelling at high speeds. In addition, alloy wheel refurbishment is much more cost-effective than buying new ones – plus you get to retain those original factory finish rims which really adds an extra bit of style and flair to your vehicle!

Although there are many DIY options on the market, we don’t recommend it, especially if you’re not experienced in working on vehicles. Mistakenly using the wrong type of chemicals or abrasives can cause damage to the alloy surface, which will cost you more to replace than getting them refurbished by a professional. In addition, if remodeled incorrectly doing it yourself can lead to difficulties with balance and weight distributions.

Depending on the type of alloys you have, and the amount of damage that needs fixing, at Wheel Works we typically charge between £50 - £150 per wheel. Get in touch for a free no-obligation quote from our alloy refurbishment team.

How many times you can refurbish your wheels will depend on the type and design of the alloy, the condition of it and how much surface corrosion there is. If the wheel is still in good structural shape then, as long a it’s done properly, it can usually be refurbished multiple times without causing any issues.
