MINI Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists
MINI wheels are iconic — known for their fun, sporty character and bold, distinctive designs. From classic five-spoke and “pepper pot” patterns to modern diamond-cut bi-tone JCW wheels, Y-spokes, split-spokes and gloss black finishes, MINI wheels mix retro personality with modern engineering.
Because MINI wheels often feature sharp machining, high-contrast finishes, large open spokes and sporty styling, kerb rash, corrosion and stone chips become highly visible. JCW (John Cooper Works) models frequently use lightweight wheels that require precision restoration.
At Alloy Wheel Repair, we specialise in restoring all MINI wheels — including Cooper, Cooper S, JCW, Clubman, Countryman and Electric (MINI EV) — to their perfect factory appearance.
