Anybody know where I can get some new or newish replacements? My left rear and left front have significant dings in the gloss and I am unsure why or how this happened as it came that way used.. Tried the XKEC board but no responses..

Why not get all 4 professionally refinished? Probably costs less than buying 2 wheels and they will also be the same color, like new.

Powder coating is probably more durable than paint but if you tend to curb your wheels I'd go with paint since it's easier and cheaper to touch up yourself. A hard clear coat is a must.

There are probably several refinishers in your area. Some are mobile and make house calls and do the work on-site. Google or check with high-end dealers and ask who they use.

 

You might want to try to have them repaired. My jaguar dealer has used Alloy Wheel Repair Specialist and speaks highly of the work the franchisee does here. They are mobile and there is one in your area:

My Jag dealer refinished all 4 wheels for $650. I was very pleased.

 

you guys are awesome.... I will find these guys out and find out how much to repair. I got an offer from a guy in England for 2 complete sets... 1600 to 1800 pounds each!! :O

 

My Jag dealer handed me my car back broke... then wanted to charge 300 dollars to switch out the orange for clear reflectors... I trust them NOT!!

 

I'm having all four done next week. Removed, stripped, straightened, powder coated, balanced and mounted with a lifetime warranty on the coating. $620.00 out the door.

You may want to check with Todd Cooperider at Esoteric. I believe he detailed your car recently. Since he is one of the premier detailers in the country, I'd think he could refer you to a top notch wheel shop.

Best regards,

 

I know him well. In fact he did the paint correction, complete front endand side sills wrap, and 22 ple liquid glass coating on the car!!

I'm going to saunter up there later this summer and take his two day detailing course. Perhaps you could throw in a good word for me and maybe I could get a discount.

Best,

 

Tom,
Are you having your wheels done in metro Atlanta? If so, please let us know the name and address of the shop and contact person.
Thanks,
Stuart

 

Hi Stuart,

My first stop a number of months ago was Wheel Wizard, off of PIB. I THINK Rodney had his wheels done there. 800 bucks and additional $ for the barrels. Would have had to have the wheels balanced elsewhere
for more bucks. Wanted the car for four days. Car stored indoors. He took me through the shop and explained the process.

Next was Metro Wheels, S. Cobb Dr, Marietta. Included barrels and balancing and car stored indoors for $800. No shop tour but I did not ask. They wanted the car for five days.

I get our tires at Discount Tire. Love them. They've told me for the better part of a year that my wheels are out of round as I have the wheels balanced about every two months for free.

So, I'm in there last week having my 29K miles Hankook EVO V12s replaced with new ones and, serendipitously, the wheel repair mobile truck is there. Talking with the specialist piques my interest.

I drove over to Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists Inc. in Norcross and they gave me the price. Asked for a tour of the facility and was given one. They do not have an indoor storage capability but are a 24 hour operation M - F. Turnaround time 24 to 48 hours. In the "waiting lot" a Porsche, a BMW, a Maserati and a Corvette.

Will let you know the outcome.

Warmest regards,

 

Loth,

As I read this it looks like a hijack. Apologies.

Best,

 

Not so sure about a discount...Lord knows I wasnt given anything for less then standard price when he worked up my jags...but I will say this...he is worth every penny!! tell him you know Ryan and his Jaguars from the jag forums .
