Expert Alloy Wheel Repair and Refurbishment Services
Established to address the growing need for professional alloy wheel restoration, Alloy Circles combines technical expertise with meticulous attention to detail. Our team utilises advanced hydraulic straightening machinery and TIG welding to repair cracks and buckles, ensuring wheels roll true and straight. We incorporate phosphoric acid immersion dips to eradicate ingrained corrosion, a critical step often omitted by competitors, and apply architectural-grade powder coatings for lasting protection against winter road chemicals and UV degradation.With a comprehensive colour palette exceeding 40 options, we cater to both classic and modern vehicles while maintaining rigorous quality control throughout our 3-5 day refurbishment process. Our commitment to transparency includes upfront pricing, clear communication about potential TPMS valve risks, and detailed explanations of our multi-stage preparation techniques. By investing in specialist equipment and training, we deliver durable, high-quality results that prioritise both aesthetic appeal and structural integrity.

Services
Alloy wheel refurbishment
Our comprehensive refurbishment process includes chemical paint stripping, phosphoric acid corrosion removal, and triple-layer powder coating. We address structural issues through hydraulic straightening and TIG welding while preserving wheel integrity. The service concludes with premium clear lacquer application for lasting protection against environmental damage.
Crack repairs
Using precision TIG welding techniques, we repair structural cracks in alloy wheels. The process involves controlled heating and cooling cycles to maintain metallurgical integrity while restoring structural strength. Post-welding, wheels undergo dimensional verification to ensure proper alignment and balance.
Buckle straightening
Our hydraulic press system corrects wheel buckles with calibrated force application. We perform pre-straightening assessments to identify hidden damage risks and offer discounted straightening for detected issues. The process maintains wheel geometry while minimising stress fractures.
Vapour blasting
This non-abrasive cleaning method uses water and fine media to remove contaminants without surface damage. Ideal for sensitive components, it effectively cleans engine parts, brake calipers, and intricate wheel designs while preparing surfaces for coating applications.
Powder coating
We apply electrostatically charged powder coatings that cure at 230C for maximum adhesion. Our system includes primer, colour coat, and architectural-grade clear lacquer layers. This process creates a durable, chip-resistant finish that withstands extreme weather conditions and UV exposure.
Questions
Do you repair cracked alloy wheels?
Yes, we use TIG welding to repair cracks in alloy wheels, followed by dimensional verification to ensure proper alignment and balance.
How long does wheel refurbishment take?
Our standard process takes 3-5 days depending on the extent of corrosion and required repairs to ensure quality results.
Can you match specific paint colours?
We offer over 40 standard colours and can accommodate custom colour requests through our powder coating process.
Do you handle TPMS valves?
We recommend removing TPMS valves before heat processes. If removal isn't possible, we cannot guarantee valve integrity during repairs.
What areas do you serve?
We serve Cheshire and surrounding areas including Nantwich, Northwich, Sandbach, and Crewe from our Winsford workshop.
Do you offer mobile repair services?
No, we don't provide mobile wheel repair services. All work is completed at our fully equipped Winsford workshop.

Positive:Quality,Value
The tyres on my Mum's Honda Jazz kept deflating, even when reseated and sealed by the garage. Ken did a great job of cleaning, blasting and coating the wheels. I just dropped the car off and picked it up a few days later. No hassle and a fair price. A choice of colours too. Highly recommended.

Wheels came back better than new, high quality finish. Properly striped back to bare metal, with all corrosion removed before a full powder coat paint system applied. This guy knows what he is doing.

My step dad Simon has just had his 17inch MG ZR rally wheels fully refurbished by Ken at Alloy Circles of Winsford , when he took the wheels into him they were in very poor condition but after Ken's professional work they now look better than when they were new.
Ken really knows his business and is straight talking and gives you a full overview of the position both bad and good before he starts the work , I would not have believed that they would come out so good. I can not recommend Ken and his business highly enough if you want to see his great work pop in and see him to discuss your requirements
