Decent wheel re-furb

[CatmanV2]

My wheels were done before I bought the car, but they clearly were not the best.

However, having misjudged the anlge of the peage so Mrs Catman (a lady of below average height) could reach the ticket, I'm now going to need to get them done properly at some point in the future.

Recommendations in the Essex area?

Next time I shall mostly be buying a telepeage tag

TIA

Lepsons. Mine are going there soon. Free collection and delivery atm too.

How much do they charge?

 

[CatmanV2]

Indeed. Not massively local either, although I guess that won't matter.

Ever heard of these people?

They seem cheap...

Cheers Maf.

Added to the list. I have a couple of GT 3.2 wheels that could be worth straightening before ebaying. May well try them first.

Yep - BJV Engineering. I've used them twice before and wasn't happy - second set had to go back to be redone. Plenty of negative comments if you Google them as well.

You get what you pay for I guess

I think Paul Dalton
(the man who helped develop a swissvax polish named after him http://www.swissvax.co.uk/product_d..._rock_state_of_the_art_car_wax_by_paul_dalton) uses lepsons as far as I know

That's something of a recommendation.

Lepsons are seen as the best, but then you need a complete spare set of wheels.

Or just keep your car on axle stands? I will be sending my GS wheels off to Lepsons soon. Fortunately a forum member has lent me a set of 4200 wheels to put on the car in the meantime. The car won't move, just don't want to have my driveway looking like Steptoe's yard!

 

[rossyl]

That is probably the best way to do it MAF. I'll have to look into how much Lepsons charge

 

[chippiepilot]

just saw this on pistonheads, regarding the particular branch of Lepsons, nothing bad http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/...id=0&nmt=Lepsons+Swindon+-+Changed+not+Closed the Swindon place is the best place, I have read some negative feedback regarding a lepsons in Kent

Anyone remember that episode of Wheeler Dealers where Mike takes a set of alloys needing a refurb and swaps them for the same wheels already refurbished?

Lepsons

My wheels came back from Lepsons a couple of weeks ago - I went for the bright sparkle silver finish - they look superb, perfect finish. £300 very well spent ;-)

How long do they take?

How long do they take?

A few days, if mine were anything to go by.

How long do they take?

i left my car with the local Maserati specialist who have Lepsons collect/deliver every Tuesday and Friday, so just a couple of days or so.
