Looking for some recommendations to get a couple of wheels refurbed in or not too far from Glasgow? Ideally would like them re-done in the same silver paint that Mazda used on the wheels originally. Any ideas? Thanks

'The wheel specialist' in East Kilbride did an excellent job on my diamond cut alloy. They seem exceptionally busy with lots of dealers bringing them some nice motors to sort (2x lambos). I would give them a go.

OPC Glasgow used someone in EK - not sure if it's these guys - and it took three attempts to get my wheel refurb right…

It is the same guys. However he also did my 911 alloys and managed to match the centre caps I supplied perfectly. Awesome job.

Glad to hear it - I may have just been unlucky: First attempt, they used too light an undercoat for the black, so that the shade looked more charcoal and didn't match the centre caps. Second attempt - outside looked good but they'd dragged or stacked the wheels before the paint was hardened, so the backs were in a right mess. Third attempt is looking good so far, even if some of their edge masking is rather poor.

I used them a few years back and they did a very good job on a set of 22-spoke AMG wheels which to my eye looked like they'd be very difficult to do.

Their yard and location isn't glamorous in the slightest, but the finish vs. cost was great - £220 at the time for 4 x 18" wheels including removal and refitting of tyres.
