Our experienced team of experts can deliver a wide range of customising techniques, including the use of bespoke finishes such as metal flake, glitter finish and gold paint. We can also colour code to match the rest of your vehicle or opt for a colour that provides a contrasting rim detail. If you really want to make your mark, we can apply a glow in the dark finish. Whatever you want, we’ll do our best to make it happen. If need be, we can combine services such as diamond cutting and bespoke refurbishment to create the rims you’ve always wanted.

Get in touch with our team of experts and we’ll explain exactly what we can do for you.


Looking After Your Customised Alloy Wheels

Like other forms of refurbishment, our customised alloy wheel repairs need to be looked after carefully to maintain their appearance and prolong their lifespan. They should be cleaned twice a week at a minimum, using a car sponge and wheel cleaner.

It’s possible that water can seep into your wheels and cause damage. One of the tell-tale signs of water seeping under the lacquer is the appearance of milky patches. If you spot signs such as this, please contact us on 0208 589 3020 or via email for an explanation of how further damage could be prevented. Contact us as soon as you can for the best possible results.

Customised Alloy Wheels – How it Works

Each wheel we work on is put through a highly defined customised alloy wheel repair process which involves them being cleaned, powder coated, painted and lacquered. This ensures the alloys look perfect and have longevity.

1. The Wheels Come Into Alloy Wheel Repair London

Wheels can be dropped off by customers or we can collect them ourselves. Once they arrive, the tyres will be removed using specialist equipment. Identifying marks are applied, and the tyres safely stored.
We check the alloys for stress fractures, buckles or cracks, and let the customer know if they are beyond repair or not safe to drive on. At this stage we will advise whether any work besides the buckled wheel repair itself needs to be carried out. The next stage is to strip the weights from the wheels and mark them using tyre pressure sensor equipment to guarantee the right replacement.

2. Aquablasting

Chemicals are used to strip the alloys back to bare metal, after which aquablasting is used to remove chemicals, other impurities while keying the alloy’s surface. This part of our custom alloy wheel repair service works more quickly than other methods and delivers the best results. The next stage is for the alloys to be de-greased and carefully removal of any damage to your wheels with abrasive discs. Following this any damage to the rim edges and face will be prepared, dressed and filled to be dealt with.

3. Powder Primer is Applied

The alloys being worked on are then placed in an oven and heated for 30 minutes. This removes any air trapped in the microscopic pores, so that no air escapes as the paint is being applied, something which would reduce the quality of the finish. Powder primer is now applied to every side of each section and the alloys are reheated to make sure that the powder primer is cured, to produce a high strength, hard wearing coating.

4. Colour is Applied

At the next stage the colours you’ve chosen are applied to your alloys. We use the paint which is supplied to the top wheel manufacturers across Europe and our custom finishes can be as wild as your imagination. We offer effects such as glitter and multiple colours and can include a diamond cut if requested.

5. Final Coating, Cooling and Checking

The final coat of lacquer is then applied to the alloys before they are baked. This process makes the wheels extremely durable and able to cope with the elements. After being baked, the alloy sections are hung up to cool for approximately 20-30 minutes, before being inspected to check that they meet our extremely high standards.

6. Tyres are Re-fitted and Balanced

The last thing we do is reassemble the split rim and refit the tyres, before balancing the wheels and, if possible, resetting any tyre pressure system. Following this the wheels are ready to be collected.
Please note that we will not refit illegal tyres.


Custom Finishes At Alloy Wheel Repair London

The Shadow Chrome Finish

The shadow chrome finish we offer creates a metallic effect in the paint, with stunning results which have made it an increasingly popular option.

The Colour Coding Option

Colour coding refers to creating a custom alloy which is the same colour as your car, or a certain part of your car. Simple but stunning, it is an increasingly popular option.

The Glitter Effect Option

This finish is the ideal choice for a high impact effect. Following the application of a base colour, our experts apply a stunning glitter effect. It creates a unique visual appeal as it catches and reflects any available light.

The Two-Tone Option

The two-tone option creates a high class, understated and refined impact. Our advice is to opt for a combination mixing metal effect with anthracite, although a key colour which matches your car is also a highly original choice.

The Hydro Graphics Option

The latest cutting-edge option is the hydro graphics effect, which is also known as water transferable printing (or H20 dipping). It enables design choices which include the addition of pictures and graphic designs to the rims. The design you choose is applied to a unique film which is then activated on the surface of water, causing it to dissolve and leave the design floating. The alloy in question is then dipped through the water, and the flow of the water applies itself to the shape of the rim. You can choose literally any design you like, from a dollar bill to the union jack or tiger stripes and we’ll make it happen.


Custom Alloy Wheel Refurbishment – Common Questions

  • Can any wheels be custom refurbished?
    We can’t repair badly cracked alloys for reasons of safety. If you email us a picture of your alloy wheels our experts will be able to advise on the best course of action.
  • How long does the process take?
    We do all the work on custom alloy wheel refurbishment in-house, so we can turn custom alloy wheels around in just 72 hours. The specialist and very intricate nature of the process means that it does take a little longer than standard refurbishment. Your alloys can be dropped with us, or we’ll come and collect them.
  • How long does a custom refurbishment last?
    Our custom repairs are guaranteed for a period of 12 months, but look after them properly and they will last much longer.
  • How many times can a set of alloys be repaired?
    The answer to this depends upon the nature of the alloys and how badly damaged they are. Get in touch with details and some images and our experts will provide the advice you need.
  • Can cracked alloys be repaired?
    We don’t work on wheels which have been badly dented, cracked or buckled as these faults mean the wheels are unsafe and should be written off and replaced. If the cracks and dents are minor in nature, we can repair them. However, if you send an image of your alloys to our team of experts, we’ll explain exactly what we can do for you.
  • Is there anything else I need to know?
    We offer a discount when repairing four wheels.
