Not cheeky at all
The tyres were due for replacement, so I had my tyre chappie remove the tyres before taking the wheels to The Wheel Clinic. The bare wheels were then checked for trueness and a couple of small rim dings tapped out and minor kerbing damage was smoothed out and made good. The wheels were then completely stripped and refinished in powder coat. I specified I wanted an original finish and colour.
I then had new tyres fitted and balancing done by my regular tyre chappie.
The tyre chap did ask where I had had them refurbished and when I told him he said, ''oh that is fine, they do a good job. I only asked as I would not be happy fitting tyres if they had been refurbed by a mobile van outfit''.
The wheels are 16'' and cost £50 per wheel - that was four years ago.
