finally got round to getting my wheels refurbed two weeks ago after trying to find time for the last few months.

got them done at lepsons in gillingham sam place as k18dan and they are a brilliant company.

they were really really busy and said they are now doing over 300 wheels a month blink.gif

but anyway said i needed them for a show at the weekend ( oops i lied) and they had them ready for me within three days instead of 5 which was good of them.


they charge £50 a wheel and thats for full strip down and refurb and refitting of tyres. they fitted my two new ones for me too smile.gif

so with vat it came to £235 which i thought was good and i am well happy with them. makes the car stand out so much more.

they do a normal silver that is like the normal alloy colour but i went one up and went for the 'bright sparkle', i think dan had the same allthough they said it was ford super silver too him.

anyway if anyone is around the southeast i would recommend these no end 10.gif 10.gif

Alan looks a good job done. I must get some different centre caps for mine. Also your brake caliper look very good as mine have faded somewhat. Price you paid seems about right as had the alloys on my Subaru done at about the same / wheel.
ex-owner of FRP 347 believe it is now R.I.P ! ...... now driving ....................... yes.... a Mondeo diesel. so per my daughter I am now Mondeo man, after Scoobies, BMW M5 etc etc .... ex-wife probably thinks how the not so mighty have fallen !!!

No one has dial up, and if they do it's their own problem.
Anyway, nice wheels! Lepsons are awesome.

Deffinately.. good.gif

I must have been lucky with mine as when i got mine the wheels were almost 100% perfect...only 1 minor kerbing and that is very small....musta had careful previous owners...and i treat her like a baby so she wont be getting any more scuffs i can tell ya.

Do you guys wax your alloys??.....i recently did mine and afterwards they looked great!!..and also they are easier to clean for a few weeks after..the brake dust just washes of easy.
