Have you stumbled across this page while searching for a fast, affordable and most importantly, effective alloy wheel refurbishment service in Orpington or a nearby area? Waste no time in calling our friendly team on 01689 873273. We can get you booked in at a time that’s convenient for you.
Firstly, steel alloy wheels. These are made by combining iron and carbon. Known for their durability, they are famous for being easy to repair and refinish - meaning steel alloy wheel refurbishment is an option for a large chunk of the clients we receive from the Orpington area, who come to us with scuffed or otherwise spoiled alloys. If you have these alloys fitted, you’re less likely to experience damage from gravel and brake dust. This makes them great in the winter months.
Next up, their aluminum cousins. Made by combining aluminum and nickel and pouring it into a mould, they are by far the most popular choice amongst manufacturers in this day and age. They are lightweight and heat-resistant, and look great to boot. While they are slightly less durable than steel alloys, motorists around Orpington who have them can still expect our aluminum alloy wheel refurbishment service to achieve great results, when damage isn’t extensive enough to require full fledged repair or replacement.
So what about the benefits of each type?
