BMW CSL- Aluminium Welding Rebuild and Full Refurbishment
When there is more extensive damage to a wheel and a piece of the alloy wheel has broken away from the rim, we would have to give the wheel a Full Alloy Wheel Refurbishment, as acid dipping and sandblasting the wheel, before welding completely cleans the damaged area of any contaminants (grease, dirt and paint), thus helping the weld to have maximum hold, as the welding process would not work if the area being welded had not been completely cleaned and decontaminated first. The Missing section of the wheel will then be completely welded back, in layers to create a stronger hold. The welded area will then be reformed to match the rest of the wheel. The Alloy is then fully Powder Coated. Rebuilds are very necessary on Diamond Cut wheels as the surface area on the face of the wheel has to be cut on a CNC Lathe so if the is any alloy missing it will have a void on the cut face on the wheel.

Rebuilds can take slightly longer to do as they require more repair work meaning more repair time.
