V12 Vantage wheel refurbishment
Discussion
Sadly not northwest, I used Wheelmania (Birmingham) back in January for my N400 V8V with the diamond cut Sportspack wheels. Similar price to anywhere else, but you can buy a voucher for all 4 wheels and use a discount code for it from a YouTuber (I used Mat Armstrong’s code for 10% I think it was)
They did an excellent job, we were able to match the powder coat to existing from their range of colours without need to buy Aston Martin OEM paint, but that was an option costing extra, but I did need to leave the car there for 7-10days. Stored in their secured compound.
I also made sure i had a set of jack pads and explained each pad is different due to sides being mirrored and different shape for jacking point from front to back.
With mine being an older vantage with the more archaic tpms system, I also had to specify having the tpms sensors put back in the correct corners. They were accommodating and understood when I was explaining.
Just for info the wheels can generally only be refurbished once, maybe twice (mine was apparently second time and it went fine) so if you bought second hand worth checking if they have already been done.
Most places are around £100-125 a corner.

I think I remember being shown your car whilst my wheels were in for refurbishment. I was lucky that my car was jacked up at home, so only had to take the wheels to them and didn't need any spares or leave the car with them. I would dread having to keep explaining about the jacking points....They did an excellent job, we were able to match the powder coat to existing from their range of colours without need to buy Aston Martin OEM paint, but that was an option costing extra, but I did need to leave the car there for 7-10days.

If it was around early to mid January and was a lighting silver V8V roadster, it would have been my car, didn’t know they were showing it to people while it was with them.I sadly don’t have a ramp or space for ramp at home and they can’t offer replacement loan wheels for my car, so had no option but to leave it. I did also have to make a point about not liking it being outside in the wet as I only garage store, I think this led to them turning around a little faster though.
