Split rims cost more to refurbish when compared to normal 1 piece wheels, as there’s more work required when repairing and refurbishing them. Obviously as the alloy splits up into multiple pieces which all need refurbishing separately.

Normally split rims have a polished outer dish which requires Aluminium Polishing and then lacquering. If there is deep kerbing damage to that dish it may require welding (Bentley Split Rim).

A lot of the Split Rims we refurbish require Straightening on the dish as the deep dishes are easily damaged, especially when they have been driven on with low profile tyres. This is because the low profile tyres, do not offer much protection compared to larger profile tyres.

For customers who don’t want to spend too much money on refurbishing their split rims it is also possible to repair and refurbish them without splitting them. This means the alloy will go through the same Full Alloy Wheel Refurbishment- Powder Coating, as 1 piece alloys do. The down side to this is the alloy wheels will all be 1 colour, instead of having a polished dish and a coloured centre piece. A second colour can be added when the Alloy is refurbished as 1 piece, but it is easier to apply this second colour or polished edge when the wheel has been split beforehand.
