Our process includes the following stages:
- Wheels are removed from the vehicle
- Tyres are removed from the wheels and visually inspected for low tread, damage to the sidewall, bulges and punctures
- Visual inspection of the wheels for any cracks
- Wheels are then spun to check if they are buckled
- Wheels are placed into our chemical stripping tanks to remove all existing paint and lacquer
- Once the wheels are fully stripped they are removed and thoroughly washed
- Wheels go through an automated shot blasting machine to lightly etch the surface in preparation for powder-coating
- Manual machining is carried out to remove light kerb damage
- If any welding or straightening is required it will be carried out in this stage of the process
- Wheels are pre-heated and then powder-coated in primer
- Oven cured prior to wet painting the customers’ choice of colour
- Powder-coat lacquer applied and oven cured in order to achieve exceptional clarity and durability of the finished wheel
- Tyres are refitted to wheels
- Balanced using adhesive weights
- Wheels fitted back onto the vehicle
(If applicable)
- Precision diamond cutting lathe used to machine the surface of the alloy wheel removing a few 1/1000 of an inch at a time
