Diamond Cutting at Speedwells Refinishers

There are a few alloy wheel refurbishing companies in and around the Birmingham area, some good (ish), some not so good and some not even worth a mention, it’s a classic case of you get what you pay for in this particular field, we personally as a company recommend and use Speedwells Refinishers based Speedwell Road Birmingham, some of their competition state VAD only showing Speedwell loyalty because of our business links and the fact the two owners are good friends and although that is true VAD as a brand only work with the very best in their field, so if we are working closely with a company you can rest assured they are the best at what they do and Speedwells are no different to any other company we are associated with, quality means everything to our brand, and Speedwells share the same business ethics and values, if they didn't we wouldn't work with them.

Now we have that out of the way, let’s get down to the reason of this post as its pretty exciting news for not only Iby and his company, but also for the new as well as the huge reapeat in customer business that use his services week in week out.

When you take a wheel into Speedwells to get refinished, everything apart from the stripping of the old original paint is done in house, the diamond cutting was also a process that was outsourced, but in the run up to the festive period December 2019 that all changed with the install of a brand new diamond cutting machine.

Speedwells has expanded nicely over the last 10 years of business so adding the final piece of the jigsaw installing an in-house diamond cutting machine was a no brainer, it has been on the cards for a long time, but Iby was merely waiting for the right time as well as it making financial sense, with his aim for the start of 2020 to be completely self-contained, and with the powder coat paint line being a work of art, the diamond cutting has only improved on the high quality setup, with the Speedwells quality being better maintained, especially when you don’t have the need to outsource a service.

We are excited to see this part of the business grow for him as it’s a service we use a lot, and the quality of work that is coming out of the Speedwells HQ over the last few years is mind blowing, this is merely an enhancement on the current set up, he may well have competition but his work ethic and standards are the benchmark, he is definitely leading his field, everyone else is just playing … don’t believe us, hit him up and tell him VAD sent you, ...you will not be disappointed.

FOM Performance Wheels

We have finally got round to adding the FOM Performance range of forged 3 piece wheels to our website, we have been meaning to get this up online for so long with time being the main hold up along with waiting on some decent imagery to display the product, but as they say perfection takes time.

FOM Performance 3 piece Forged Wheels

FOM Performance wheels are a European based manufacturer so that was a huge plus point for wanting to partner with them, another was the fact they manufacture in-house, which is another huge plus as the lead times are slashed by comparison to the competition, especially with 3 piece wheel manufacturing which can run into 6 and 8 weeks, some cases even longer, and that’s the beauty of this range of wheels, not only are the designs fantastic but the lead time and price is also part of the winning ingredient of custom manufactured 3 piece wheels.

As with any 3 piece wheel manufacturer a mixture of good designs, finishes and applications are key to a successful brand and FOM do not disappoint, with most vehicles being catered for to include one off bespoke applications and various centre locks that are on the open market, all the designs start at 17" size from a 6" width up to a 13" and plus widths, they also offer 18" 19" and 20" in the same widths and applications with a huge range of finishes, they pretty much have every design to suit all tastes, flat or concave centre profiles with reverse or stepped outer lip options.

One of our favourite designs is the Weave, and old school style mesh wheel, and we are quite partial to a mesh design, especially when it looks this good, so we are pretty please that the all new Speedwells 280ZX V8 Turbo will be wearing this design in 17" and 18" configuration, and the build spec is pretty epic reading with a 9x17 up front and a 12x18 sitting at the rear with some huge negative offsets and extremely large outer rims, it’s a build we have been craving to see finish ever since our good friend Iby started it.

For more details on price, design, lead time and what we can offer you with the unique range of FOM Forged wheels get in touch with the VAD team, we are ready and waiting to enhance your build.

Speedwells, The Alloy Wheel Refinishers

If you’re from the west midlands and into the car scene, then you would of heard the name speedwells, one because he drives a very famous Red 800+ bhp widebody supra, and two because they are one of, if not the finest wheel refinishers this country has to offer, how do we know this, well we have been in the wheel industry for over 20 years, and we have used most companies that are supposed to specialise in the refinishing business, but have never been 100% happy with the finished product and neither have our customers, and as there seems to be a refinisher opening up weekly, we thought it was time to educate and help people with a great option on where to take your alloys for that high quality finish.

We have already covered the supra on many occasions in our blog, if you want a recap hit the link and read up on the finest home grown Supra this country has ever produced.

Read all about this beauty from our previous blog post.

His build shows not only his meticulous attention to detail, but also his extremely high quality standards, this standard is mirrored within his refinishing work, but you don’t have to take our word for it, the trophy haul from many shows across the country show that, to win the collection of trophies Iby has stashed away, it has had to be the best, and his wheel refinishing and workmanship qualities are no different.

Wheel refinishers, there are many around the country, as a wheel wholesaler / retailer we have possibly used them all, and what we can say is none of them come close to what Speedwells can do with a wheel, the added bonus is he can refinish or refurbish any wheel, own a 3 piece wheel and struggling to get it refinished properly like we have done so many times in the past, well not only does he specialises in the 1 piece wheel, but the 2 and 3 piece wheel too, no matter what the wheel, he will return to o.e. m quality standards, if not better.

There aren’t many people within the wheel refinishing industry that want to get involved with a 3 piece wheel, as its time consuming and not as easy as stripping a 1 piece, you have to be pretty meticulous and know what you are doing, and this is where Speedwells are a cut above the rest, he has 3 piece wheels on every car he owns, so he understands how they are put together, and what you have to do to repair or refinish, he is the only company we would let anywhere near our refinishing , and he is the exclusive VAD refinisher for all of our used wheels, we couldn’t recommend his workmanship and quality standards enough.

So if you have a 1, 2 or 3 piece wheels, that need bringing back to life, and you want a high quality job, then look no further, tell them VAD sent you, we can assure you of one thing, you will be happy you did.
