Single colour only not split rims, all 4 alloys damaged by a tyre fitter when replacing the tyres on the rims a mixture of removing wheel weights with a screwdriver and setting the rim guard too low when taking tyres off putting new tyres on! I need a quote to give to the tyre fitter. Regards Graham Quote Reply #1 8 Replies

Usually able to offer loan wheels whilst he takes yours away to work on. Turnaround one to two weeks. Home (exelwheels.co.uk) Our 2016 Boxster had a five year birthday, Chris did the wheels and then I had it detailed. The detailer said that the wheel refurb was the best job he had ever seen. Cheapest? Probably not. Best job? Probably yes. Chris might be able to help with the tyres too. Good luck David 2016 - 718 Boxster S - Agate Grey 2017 - Nissan Juke 2022 - Taycan 4S ST - Frozen Blue Previous Porsche; 2019 Macan Turbo, 2014 Macan S, 2006 Cayman S, 2003 996C2, 1998 Boxster Location: Near Ashbourne, Derbyshire PCGB Region 8 - East Midlands Quote Reply #2

Unfortunately I was weighing it up against one in Derby I was recommended by Porsche and I’ll just say they were terrible they were half the price but the job was less than half as good. As soon as they annoy me enough when I have less pressing things on they’re going to Dan Merrins Quote Reply #9
