Booked in for wheel refurbishment....

So after much deliberation I've finally bit the bullet and booked the Z in to have her nails painted. I've gone with the Alloy Wheel Specialist in Westerhope (bigup!) and the colour on the 19" Rota GTRs will be a satin anthrcite/charcoal.

 

Price all in will be £375 for same day and a courtesy car too!

 

Do it nice or do it twice!

Bloody hell that's expensive!

 

Did you know that many company's that say they need to keep your wheels for a few days actually just send them to these guys who are fantastic, then give them back to you making a huge profit?

There's only one problem with that place and it's the location! :angry:

 

The Wheel Specialist do it in house and because I don't have a spare set I'm more than happy to pay a bit extra to have them in and out on the same day, plus the courtesy car is a massive bonus!

But you are paying nearly double! Just seems crazy to me. You could have taken your wheels off, posted them, hired a car for the day and STILL have saved money!

 

Oh well, at least you know for next time!

 

But the agro of time waiting for a courier to collect, the courier losing his wheels, the arrival day won't count as a day to work on them for the refurb company, neither will the return day, so you're looking at nearly 5 days. (Posting to refurb compay, recieving day, working day, returning day, delivery day) So hire car for 5 days + postage there + postage back + refurb = lots.

As an ex pat Geordie, now living in Manchester, I used the local Wheelspecialist to refurb the alloys on my Honda Accord, over 12 months ago and they still look great! Good same day service.

 

My 2006 Zed roadster, with original Rays, needs a wheel refurb, needless to say, I'll be asking wheelspecialist for a quote!

So after a bit of a delay, here is the result of a same day service from The Wheel Specialist in Westerhope near Newcastle. I can't recommend them enough, it's like having a completely different set of wheels altogether.

 

Sorry about the pic heaviness of this post!
