__Andy__ 0 Posted May 26, 2009 So, does anyone know what The Wheel Specialist in Fareham is like. They do paint centre caps to match wheels, but they are more expensive. Does anyone have any knowledge of them? Failing that, anyone else recommend somewhere else? Cheers, Tony (tbvr6) I have only made enquiries with them. They were V expensive, although they invited me to come and have a look at thier work when I mentioned BJV :) been to the wheel specialist and seen thier work, yes its good but its seriously expensive. to have two of my wheels refurbed (which in truth only really need painting as theres no kerbing) it was £150 including one centre cap painted, thats more then the price of a whole refurb at bjv including all centre caps (my caps are metal).. ive seen the quality of bjv's work and was really impressed with them, and they are very cheap...but i see the predicament your in, pop down there and see what they say.. maybe get the wheels refurbed at bjv and the centres painted at the wheel specialist lol.. :clap: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VR6 South 0 Posted May 26, 2009 Hi, Can you fit mine in too? I've got 5 with no tyres attached. I can drop very early Saturday morning as I'm only in worthing. They should fit, although I will need to check how many wheels will fit into the back of a mk2 Golf. Andy are you leaving your tyres on? martin, just had my mot this morning and its gona need: brake compensator valve seized, hand brake inoperable on drivers side and may need a new caliper, exhaust has multiple leaks and a crack in the centre box, rear brake lines are badly corroded and it needs some spring washers for the rear suspension, probably looking at around the £300 mark... :( :( :( so my wheels are going to have to wait for another month, im really sorry to mess you around martin, i really wasnt expecting it to fail on these things, knew the exhaust was a problem but not everything else.. hope this doesnt cause too much of a problem. my apologies again.[/quote:7a737xv7] No worries Andy. Good luck with the repairs :) Shaun G60 - I will still probably make the trip up to BJV as I need to get my wheels done ASAP. You are more than welcome to bring them round to mine, although it may be just as cheap to deliver them tho BJV yourself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
