Repair or replace?

Steel wheels cost less to buy new than most alloys, so we only recommend refurbishing when it makes sense. If the wheel is straight and the rust sits on the surface, refurbishing usually works out well, especially for a full set or a wheel that's hard to find new. If the rust has eaten into the metal or the wheel is badly bent, a new wheel may be the better buy. We'll tell you which from your photo, before you book anything.

What we fix

Rust and flaking paint The old finish and the rust under it come off back to bare metal before anything new goes on.

Is it worth refurbishing steel wheels?

Yes, if the wheel is straight and the rust is on the surface. It also makes sense for a full set, or a wheel that's hard to replace. If the steel is rusted through or bent, we'll tell you a new wheel is the better buy.

Most of our standard refurbishments take 36 to 48 hours. We'll confirm the timing for your steel wheels when we quote.

Can I have my steel wheels in a different colour?
