Alloy Wheel Refurbs In North-East

Sat Jul 22, 2006 4:54 pm

Can anyone recommend any refurbers of alloys anywhere in the north-east please? Anywhere from Teesside to North Tyneside and west as far as the Pennines is acceptable.
The only possibility I know of is Car & Bike Magic in Sunderland, but I'd like personal recommendations if possible.
TIA
Stuart.

got mine done at SEM stu, they came out quite well i thought

was about 50 quid a wheel and that included taking the tyre off, putting it back on and rebalencing, and they also did the centres to match

they're in Sunderland too

they're just off north hylton road just opposite the college

the junction to the estate is litterally oposite the college, go through the gates and down to the left and follow the road in, then take the first left at the bottom to go into the circle of factory units, you can't miss em

industrial estate highlighted in green just off north hylton road

and here it is in more detail, the road curves following the red arrow, and the enpty space is the industrial estate, the space on the opposite side of north hylton road is the college

There's a place in Stockton called Romax, meant to be pretty good, in fact most of the dealers round these parts actually use them so cannot be all bad. I would suggest getting some spare wheels from a scrappy so you can remove them, heard some horror stories in the past of places like this doing damage to the cars while taking the wheels off, easier if you can drop them off and put them back on yourself.

Don't need spares as I've still got the original BBS on the car.
I 'phoned Romax today, they've quoted Ã‚£40 per wheel without seeing them. At the moment the wheels are with a mate in The Boro getting the tyres off, so Romax is one possibility.
The wheels aren't actually that bad, but someone has had a go at them and the paint has reacted. If I was more confident of my aerosol skills, I'd do them myself.
I'm going to have a word with SEM and C&BM tomorrow while I'm in Sunderland.
