Has anybody done their own wheel refurbishing? Is it hard? I just called pureKlas about some mirror polishing and they said it would cost 240! thats well out of the price range lol. Im in London if anybody knows of a refurb company that work for a bit cheaper.

cheers

theres a company in Kent called Lepsons who come highly recommended! they did my bros g40 alloys and quoted me Â£50 a wheel (on 16s) for a full refurb in any style i wanted!!

Sorry to hijack, is that on the BBS Dan? That's a bloody good price.

nah that was on my Seat wheels, apparently i've heard that Lepsons don't really like doing split rims, and if they did do them it would cost more anyway!

gonna have a look about i think at other places in Kent!

dunno if this helps or not but the guy i got to do my wheels, it was Â£50 a wheel and u dont have to take them of the car. he comes to ur house and does them on the car so u dont miss them. u dont even have to get them done all together, u could do what i did, i got 2 wheels done then when ig ot paid i got the other 2 wheels done. dunno how far he travels tho. i dunno wat type of finish hes capable of either...... if u want i can give u his number and u can ring him and see if he can do wat u want and where u want? as i said he comes to u so u dont have to go n e where or remove ur wheels.
