We refurbish 2- and 3-piece split rim wheels by taking them fully apart, repairing and refinishing each section, then resealing, reassembling and pressure-testing them. We never refurbish split rims while assembled.

Split rim wheels (also known as multi-piece or 3-piece alloys) are some of the most sought-after rims on the road — known for their bold looks, modular design, and customisable finishes. But when it comes to repairs or restoration, they need more than just a basic refurb. That’s where we come in.
Split rims are 2- or 3-piece alloy wheels, built from separate components:
Centre piece
Bolts to the hub.
Inner barrel
The rear half.
Outer lip
The face.
These sections are joined with bolts or rivets, offering flexibility in design and ease of part replacement — but they also require expert care during any refurbishment process.
Our Refurbishment Process
We don't cut corners — we take every wheel fully apart, treat each section individually, and rebuild it like new.
Full DisassemblyWe unbolt each section to inspect for corrosion, cracks, or warping. We never refurbish split rims while assembled — it’s unsafe and improper.
Damage RepairAny buckles, weldable cracks, or curb damage are professionally repaired. All components are media-blasted to prepare for finishing.
Custom RefinishingChoose from:
Powder coating (gloss, matte, satin, custom)
Polished lips
Anodised barrels or candy colours
Coloured hardware options (e.g. gold bolts)
Reassembly & SealingAll bolts are torqued to spec. New sealant or gaskets are applied to ensure air-tight sealing for tubeless setups.
Pressure Testing & BalancingWe make sure they’re 100% sealed and ready for the road.

Technical Insight
Split rim bolts aren’t just decorative — they’re structural. That’s why we:
Use correct torque settings (typically 22–26 ft-lbs)
Replace damaged or rusted bolts with high-grade alternatives
Reseal wheels using automotive-grade RTV sealant to ensure tubeless compatibility
We do not use shortcuts — no powder coating while assembled, no oversprays, no leaks.
Warranty & Peace of Mind
We back all split rim refurbishments with a 6-month workmanship guarantee. It covers faults in our own work, not new damage after the wheels leave us.
If a sealing issue or assembly fault arises, we’ll fix it free of charge.
How BBS forged, flow-formed and cast wheels differ, the designs that made the brand, and why construction matters when a BBS wheel is kerbed, corroded or bent and needs assessing.
We restore kerbed, scratched, buckled and corroded alloys across London & Essex. See our alloy wheel repairs, full refurbishment and prices, or send a few photos for a quick quote.
