Can anyone recommend or have prices from anybody else?
Daft question but what happens to the centre caps do I send them off and they get new paint or will I just have to give them a good scrub?

I've just had a quote from Lepson's 5X BBS refurbished for Ԛ£225 + VAT ( It would only take about a week for them to do them) It's a bit more than I was hoping but I want a good job done.

There is quite a cheap place in Hemel Hempstead, near watford but your too far away lol, (BJV engineering) charge Ԛ£20 a wheel inc centre caps,
i would recommend that your take the caps apart and only send the metal part, since some people are brutal and can break them locking mechanism. You can get new cap nuts from the dealers i don't know the price though!

That's cheap, Have you seen any of their work?
I can get a good deal on postage to send my wheels out it's just getting them back!

Had my very own set done there about three years ago, Brian is the guy you wanna chat toMISSY30 wrote:That's cheap, Have you seen any of their work?

haven't got any close up pics but when i got them back and put them on the car they looked awesome, but....if you want to keep them that wat watch the kerbs and clean regularly no mater the weather, and also change your brakes on time as i didn't and one of the alloys hot metal/brake dust into the wheel.
Ring the guy up and have a word, i don't know whether he'd do them via post.(also tell him you pay cash it will save you the vat)

thats not a bad price, i will really really doubt u will find a better place to get your wheels done. In my opinion their finish is better than most brand new wheels
