Wheel Refurb Scotland

Thinking of getting my wheels refurbished. Has anyone north of the border had dealings with this company:


http://www.wheelservices.co.uk/

I'm loath to have them done without a recomendation, as the last time I had wheels refurbished, they wouldn't balance. Only then did I learn that there is a science to it, and it's not just a case of shot blasting and painting them.
I'm looking for somewhere kind of close by, and Airdrie isn't too far away.
I think someone previously recommended a place in or around Edinburgh, but for the life of me I can't find it using 'search'. Edinburgh is a wee bit further away, but if it was any good, I'd go there.

Hello young man and I hope that you are having a nice day.

That firm looks OK and they do have the latest finishes on offer, they are the chrome paints and they will last, I have had them for 10 years on my V70.

Do give the chrome finishes some thought, much better than clear or a dull silver. MB are now using these finishes on their new cars, It does depend on the colour of the car as to how dark you go.

Good luck

Thanks Malcolm. That's good enough for me! As you say, I'll give the chrome finish some thought. I'll pop up and see them this week. I don't actually know if I've seen the chrome finish...or if I have, then it's not registered with me! I'll need to do some homework on this one!
Thanks again.

Thanks again.

pop into your local MB and look at the new bright finishes. My V70R had me fooled for some years, I thought that they were polished and lacquered, until I damaged one after 8 years
