overall happiness from results id say were about 70%. colour match is v good imo; however some alloys have little marks on them where there were bad marks before :? .the dimond cut rim isnt perfect all the way round, which i thought it would be, but fella says it wont be perfect for some reason or another.
ok so why arent they on the car then? see the centre caps in the pics? no!? why? they are still at proclean, they refurbed the wheels but not the caps! wtf, idiots! anyway fella says just paint em, i was like errr no! u can do that and post em as i dont have the frikin paint codes! anyway will get them on tuesday.

told you! bunch of tits!

I didn't accept them - you should have told them todo them again if I was you - after all they say when you take them they'll be as good as new...

When I first went I got the caps back still gold!

I won't use them again...

they dont look bad to me.


at the end of the day, for 35 quid a rim....u cant complain lol....u want perfection........go get brand new uns imo...........see how much better the 800 +vat pricetag makes u feel .....lol.....then go get another 4 centre caps for anothe 15 each....



for what u pay , and in my experience, they do a top job......about the only place iv seen so far that get the colour pretty much bang on.

Thats tosh, the whole point of a wheel refurb is to get them as good as buying new ones thats why they're out there! Proclean are a lazy back street company - you don't ooooze with confidence when you see there place do you!

I agree at the end of the its £35 but they say they provide a service they don't!

lol...so do most companies that offer, good as new/better than oe packages mate.


tuners, tuning component manufacturers, etc etc etc.


like i say tho.u want as new with willy wheels...only thing to do is buy new. end of.


if u want 2nd best, then get ur old uns refurbished. a refurbed wheel is not garaunteed to be as good as new due to corrosion etc. yes this can be filled etc..but then it wont be anywhere near as good as new will it?? how many brand spankin new alloys are full of filler?? ........none

I've got to agree with 2live on this one, I've used them twice and

A, they are the cheapest around the northwest who give the best job for the money!

B, They do them fast,

C, They do the complete wheel, inside and out!

The company I was going to use near me only do the outside and leave the inside and charge £45 a wheel, even more for half the job!

they are a very mixed bag at pro clean, just like when you ring them up

sometimes they may aswell just say **** off down the phone how ignorant they are, other times they are very helpful

Not a Fan of them myself, went there last year and dropped the car of and left it for the Day, came back and they had managed to score straight across 2 of the wheel's while putting them on, broke one centre cap, lost another and ended up having to leave my car another day for them to redo the 2 wheels which they scored. Was not impressed with the final result's but they said it was the Best they could do. Will be takng mine elsewhere next time.

I think it's hit and miss at Proclean. Mine were done there and were spot on. Friendly staff, good service and done in a day. Centre caps were also done. Can't understand how they get it so wrong sometimes??

Jamie they look fine mate, no where is gonna get them 100% perfect...

:roll: Why why why!

I liked the white ones! :wink:

Should have kept the white ones for track wheels and got some crappy willy wheels to refurb.
