I stopped in there at the beginning of the year to getting some cranks priced up. They said to come back in a couple of months due to work load. I forgot about the cranks and keep meaning to go back. They seemed to be pretty good and sounded like they know what theyre doing.. Loads of pics of classic cars new chromework if I remember rightly.

I'm about to pick up 4 x super pro hoops and hubs from RCJ.  They have taken a VERY long time, but i was in no rush.  Watch this space.  I'll give an honest opinion when i have my stuff back :daumenhoch:

I don't know Clint. Best to give them a ring. John's the man to speak to

Well, I've collected them. I dropped them off on the 21st April. Was told it would be a 6-8 week turnaround...had to do a bit of chasing up over the last month or so, but they finally got round to doing them.  Had a quick look at them before I left for work, and I must say they are very good. Nice thick triple chrome. Two of the hubs and hoops were very pitted, had a fair few gouges out of them, so required a lot of polishing. I didn't hold out much hope for these. I'm very impressed with the finished result however.

The suzue stamping on a couple of hubs is no longer visible (not too fussed as it will be covered by a Peregrine decal anyway). I did mention about trying to save the stamping over the phone (I forgot when I initially dropped them off) but I've been so busy recently I didn't think about reminding them and just wanted the things done.

Overall, They have turned out better than expected. Rims are almost mint. I will post up comparison pics later if I get time.

Nice, knowledgeable people to deal with, but I don't think small jobs take priority. Decent quality of work.
