Has anyone used them before for alloys refurbs? Any recommendations?

nope but they sound good tho

there is a company called wickedwheels, they do a mobile alloy refurb service, come round in a big van and pimp your rims!! not sure if they're around your area, but could be worth a try

Well, I had a quote from DSVS to refurb my alloys. This is what I asked for.

Set of standard 15" VW BBS RXII's 2-piece Split Rims. There is lacquer corrosion on the lips which I would like to be polished. No kerbing as far as I can tell. The marks on the spokes in the attached pics is just break dust. Would also like the centres powder-coated black.

My wheels.









I got a reply from DSVS.

On looking at your pictures I am pleased to advise that I am able to refurbish your wheels to the requirements specified. The only difference, the black would be a base coat black with a lacquer finish, which gives the same affect as powder. With this you would have the added choice of metallic black or straight black. For a polished rim and black center would be £320 but I'll do it for £300 for a set of 4. As for removing the tyre all that is needed to be done is breaking the bead which I can do in the van. all work carried out is at a place that suits you. all I need is to plug into your mains supply with 1 plug.

Sample pics from DSVS.

Looks good

They come around to your own place? How cool is that...

How long does it need to dry, though? Probs a good 24hrs... you wouldn't want any dust flecks on the new shiny rims :p
