in South London or the Croydon area to be more specific.

Ok, so I was a bit silly and pulled out of a road causing someone else to brake and scuff their alloy. I have put my hand up and agreed to pay for a refurb. The chap lives in the above area and despite a few online quotes, I have had no real response from alloy refurbers.

So what is the going rate for a smart repair for a 16' alloy, no buckles or cracks? Anyone you recommend in the region. I dont want a full strip down and refurb, just a smart repair. I wonder if the lack of interest from the online lot is due to the fact that it is only a single wheel that needs repairing? Prefer a mobile service to minimise hassle to the chap involved.

Going rate is £45-60 per wheel. There's a place in Manor Royal in Crawley who do them while you wait... Wicked Wheels iirc

Alternative would be to get one on ebay and get it refurbed ready

I remember paying £35 about 18 months ago. Prices seem to have gone up recently.

Thanks for the link Al.

The last ones I had done were early mv6 ones, which with vat and swapping tyres were about £63 each, about two years ago at a local tyre place. A colleague of mine has used Wicked Wheels several times and is always pleased with the results

Lepsons in Gillingham,Kent just down from the railway station are very very good and offer a collection and delivery service if you dont fancy driving to Gillingham.

Had my 4 done last year and results were better than original OEM standard as most main dealers use them,price was £65 per wheel including tyre removal and refit/balncing etc.

Any colour/style you can imagine although that will alter the costs
