There's WHEELRITE in Chorley, I don't have personal experience but they seem to have a good reputation: http://www.wheelrite.co.uk

I'll be getting mine done by awr(northwest area) this week. Getting my mv4's done in ferric grey http://www.alloywheelrepairmanchester.co.uk

I can second AWR Bury.

vtwin_man · 05-16-2015, 08:58 AM

Well, I've taken the plunge and booked in to Smart Wheels in Manchester, for a full refurb. and powder coat finish.

I don't know whether to go for standard silver on the MV3's or a gun metal grey or shadow chrome finish? Anybody done this and were you pleased with the results? Car is Sparkling Sapphire metallic A22.

Thanks

Bit of a rain soaked quick pic, but well happy. Had the hubs and calipers painted black too. Car looks meaner now!

I have Ferric Grey MV3s (as above) on Sapphire Black and it looks superb, much prefer the grey to silver

Yes, I think they work well with a grey car, gives it the meaner look I'm sure

That looks spot on mate. Tempted to get mine done too as the previous owner has kerbed all the wheels pretty bad. I have the same colour E90 too.

I had the hubs and brake calipers painted black too which has tidied everything up nicely.

Lovely colour, but those centre caps look a bit grotty, or is it just me?

vtwin_man · 05-20-2015, 02:51 PM

Ha, well spotted... I've ordered a new set and also 4 of the little 'm' badges are on their way too.

Nice, i just need to figure out how to stop my ones spinning because they're not an exact fit :P

Just awaiting the new wheel centres, then all finished for now.
