Full Restoration
Heavily degraded, corroded or classic wheels, brought all the way back to life. Full strip to bare metal, complete damage repair, and a show-quality rebuild.
Why Rim Rehab
Refinishing covers cosmetic wear — restoration goes further. We strip the wheel completely to bare metal, repair every point of damage (kerb damage, gouges, cracks) and straighten if needed, before rebuilding with primer, colour and clear coat from scratch. It's the right call for heavily corroded, faded, or classic wheels that a simple refinish won't fix.
How It Works

Wheel stripped to bare metal and every point of damage identified.

Clear Coat & Final Inspection
Durable clear coat cured and checked against factory finish before return.
FAQ
What's the difference between refinishing and full restoration?
Restoration includes a full bare-metal strip and repairs all damage first, then builds the finish back up from scratch — the right choice for heavily degraded or previously repaired wheels.
What colour options are available?
Any colour — gloss, matte, satin, metallic, two-tone, powder coat or a custom mix.
Can you restore cracked wheels?
Yes — TIG welding crack repair is included as part of the restoration process where needed.
How long does a full restoration take?
Around 3–5 days for a full set of four wheels; faster for a single wheel.
Is restoration worth it over buying new?
For rare, discontinued, or expensive OEM wheels, restoration is almost always cheaper and preserves the original wheel.
