Split rim alloy refurbishment

Am looking for a company to refurbish my 2pc schmidt TH-LINE alloys, I've googled it endlessly but still no joy.
Rusty rimz- no longer established
Rimscarnated- not bothering to answer my messages on social media or email(strange)
Any ideas please?
Trying and mostly failing to keep a rust old tart of a golf on the road.

What area are you in?

I know of a place in Cheltenham, only because the company I work for made their website.

Can’t vouch for the work and as far as I know I think they might be a tad more expensive than anywhere else but looks like they do good stuff and have some good reviews.

Thanks, am in the North West between Liverpool and Chester.
I might have to take the tyres off and figure how to despatch the alloys on a pallet,  unless I find a company closer to home.
Or option B sell them on a purchase something different.
Thank you for taking the time to reply.

I use Paisley freight to ship wheels, that said I've not sold any in couple years now.

I've just had a look through my notes from when I took the website brief from Jeremy at Reinventing the Wheel.

He identified the businesses that he was up against and competing against.

These guys are in Cannock, still a distance but a bit nearer to you. I remember seeing these guys on one of the car shows, most likely Car SOS since Wheeler Dealers went state side. But could have been one of the other shows. They offer collection and delivery.

But they're in Wiltshire, so less helpful. Although maybe worth a quote if you need to courier the wheels anyway.


There was a third,  but looks like they've ceased trading.

Depends on the distance you are prepared to send them there is a place in Exeter with an excellent reputation called southwest wheel repairs. They remove and refit the tyres.

Thanks again emailed jpalloys don't think they are very keen on dealing with bare aluminium split rim alloys but I've given them the info they asked for.
