That looks like a really great job Gee, great work!

Think i'll be looking at getting mine done in the coming months...

Infinitely better than the Sytner pre sales prep that mine suffered, flakes of rattle can silver in my wake :lol:

Sent my fronts off to Lepsons last week as I needed new tyres and seemed like a good opportunity to get them re-furbed too:

Good points:
Their van collected from me for £24 and I didn't need to package them up and as I'm a couple of hours from Gillingham was very impressed
Finish is excellent, maybe the wheel caps could be a bit smoother but I'll see!

Bad points:
They sent the wheels back but forgot to fit the new tyres!
Initially they tried to charge me £528 for 2 wheels (you do need to pay extra for the inner rim to be painted) and caps

Luckily they were delivering to Petersfield the next day so I just had to go 30mins to collect but otherwise I would have had to wait another week :(

Applied Gtechniq C5 to them last night which I struggle with as it's so hard to see how much you've applied but it does seem to last for >12 months if applied properly so worth the effort :)

BarryM.

Can I assume the price mentioned included the price of the tyres as well? Thank you.

Nope, tyres were £440 which I thought was fair!

Is the OP a trade customer of Lepsons?
would be good to understand your relationship with them given the volume of wheels you seem to handle

Nice, they must be one of the rarest wheel types in the UK

Do Lepsons have the Alpina Himalaya Grey colour?

I’ve used Lepsons and their old subsidiary (Platinum Alloys in Swindon) a few times and the results have always been exceptional. When my wheels need doing, I’ll be heading their way again.

Gee,

Any idea of the refurb cost for a set of 20” F3* alloys? In OE silver with the diamond cut ends to the spokes. Would need tyres removed and then re-fitted.

Cheers,
Matt
