29 Alloy Wheel Refurbishment
Hi,
I have an ‘91 XM V6 Sei that I’ve had for the last 4 years and the alloy wheels are now looking distinctly
ugly (corrosion & laquer coating flaking).
I’m wondering about getting the wheels refurbished as an alternative to replacement asmy Citroen
garage are quoting 165 UKP + VAT per wheel for the original alloys (Speedlines).
Has anyone else had experience in this area that they’d like to share ?
Many Thanks,
======
Jeff
If you live up North, there’s a travelling guy who operates from the back of his lorry. I only know of him
through my local Citroen guru, who uses this guy to all his regular customers’ cars....
He charges £70+VAT to do a set of wheels. Or he did the last time I was there. Drop me a line, if that
sounds right.
Regards, Keith
P.S., It was a BX 16V’s wheels I had done and he had them looking like theymirror-finished

I’ve also heard about services like this - they tend to only do the front face of the wheel, rather than the
more expensive services who demount the tyre, and do the whole wheel. If you’re having porosity
problems, then this is what you need. It’s what I’d go for (and will do very shortly on my CX GTi), as if the
job is worth doing, it’s worth doing properly, to my mind - and just doing the front face seems not to be
as good to me as the whole wheel.
Can anybody recommend anybody in London/South East to do this? I know there’s a company
mentioned in this week’s Autocar & Motor (who collect), and I know of Diamond Styling in North London
(who don’t). Anybody had good experience of any others? I live on the Herts/Bucks border, and am
currently working in Hook, Hants.
Adrian.

Adrian (& others !),
Many Thanks for the information about getting alloy wheels refurbished. I’m sorry I’ve taken so long
to respond, but work has been very hectic recently !
Unforntunately I live in the Reading area, so the MSS people in Leeds are not so convienent -
however maybe I could take a long (long) week end in the Leeds were I have some family.
