Outer Lip Repair
If only the outer polished lip is damaged, we can re-cut and polish it without a full dismantle, a quicker and more cost effective fix where the damage is limited to that section alone.

Split Rim Alloy Wheel Rebuilding Services
We carry out four split rim alloy wheel rebuilding services from our Swanley Village workshop, from a simple outer lip repair to a full multi-piece rebuild. Every job is inspected and priced individually, so send us a photo and we will confirm the right service and an exact quote.
Full Multi-Piece Rebuild
The wheel is dismantled into its separate sections, each piece refurbished individually, then reassembled and torqued back together to the correct specification for a safe, factory standard rebuild.
Split Rim Corrosion Treatment
The bolted, multi-part construction of split rims makes them more prone to corrosion between the sections than standard one-piece wheels. We dismantle, treat and reseal each section to stop corrosion from returning.
Split Rim Finish Change
Once dismantled, each section of a split rim can be finished separately, polished, powder coated or diamond cut, giving you the option of a bespoke finish across the different parts of the wheel.

Our Split Rim Alloy Wheel Rebuilding Process
The same five-stage process for every straightening job, whether it is one flat spot or a full set affected by a single pothole strike.
-
1
Inspection and identification
We confirm your wheels are genuine multi-piece split rims rather than a styled one-piece wheel and assess the extent of the damage or corrosion before quoting.
-
2
Dismantling
The bolts are removed, and the wheel is carefully split back into its separate sections, usually two or three pieces depending on the design.
-
3
Individual section refurbishment
Each section is refurbished on its own merits, the outer lip re-cut and polished, the centre section repaired and refinished as needed.
-
4
Reassembly
The sections are bolted back together to the correct torque tension, ensuring the rebuilt wheel is both structurally sound and correctly sealed.
-
5
Quality check and balance
The rebuilt wheel is checked for finish consistency across all sections, then balanced before it goes back on your car.
Corroded between the sections? Here is why split rims are different.
-
01
Cause
Split rim wheels are bolted together from two or three separate pieces, and the joins between each section are more exposed to moisture and road grit than a standard one-piece wheel.
-
02
Consequence
Corrosion can build up between the sections, sometimes out of sight until the wheel is dismantled, which can affect both the appearance and the seal of the wheel over time.
-
03
Our Fix
We dismantle the wheel fully, treat and refinish each section individually, and reassemble it to the correct torque tension, addressing corrosion that a surface-only repair would miss.

Pricing depends on whether only the outer lip needs attention or a full multi-piece rebuild is needed, plus the extent of any corrosion. Send us a photo and we will confirm an exact, fixed price.
Genuine split rims have a series of small bolts around the outer edge and separate into two or three pieces. Some wheels are styled to look like split rims with glued-on bolt heads but are actually one piece, we can confirm which you have at inspection.
The joins between the bolted sections are more exposed to moisture and road grit than a single-piece wheel, which makes corrosion between the sections more common over time.
Yes, if the damage is limited to the outer polished lip, we can re-cut and polish that section without a full dismantle, which is a quicker and more cost effective repair.
A full multi-piece rebuild takes longer than a standard one-piece wheel refurbishment due to the dismantling and reassembly involved. We will confirm an exact timeframe at inspection.
Yes. We regularly serve customers from South East London boroughs, including Bexley, Bromley, Greenwich and Lewisham. For structural repairs, customers need to bring the wheel to our workshop or leave the car with us, as we do not offer collection or delivery for these repairs.
Our warranty covers flaking paint or lacquer on the refurbished finish. Impact damage and general wear and tear are excluded.
