Wheel Restoration

Restoration and refinishing for classic, multi-piece and specialist wheels, scoped to the set.

Overview

Wheels are assessed as a set, and as part of the car they belong to. Finish, construction and the correct appearance for the model all bear on what is appropriate.

Multi-piece, split-rim and classic wheels are treated as restoration work rather than refurbishment, and the scope follows the condition of the set.

Before & after

A split-rim barrel lip before restoration, with pitted, dull polish and corrosion around the rivet holes

After

Who this is for

  • Owners of classic, split-rim, multi-piece or prestige wheels
  • Cars where the wheels let down an otherwise sound presentation
  • Sets where the correct original finish matters
  • Cars being prepared for presentation or sale

What's usually involved

This is the kind of work involved. What your car actually needs is agreed after we've seen it.

  • Assessment of the set and its construction
  • Restoration work appropriate to the wheel and its finish
  • Refinishing matched to the correct appearance for the car
  • Attention to associated fixings and fittings

  • My car was given back to me looking the best I’ve ever seen it. Full ceramic coating was well worth it. John T and the team gave a great service.
