Anyone know of any good alloy wheel refurbishers. I know of Lepsoms and have used them before, but want to find out if there are any others.

Looking at around the London area preferably, but will go further if the job is of high quality and also the price too.

:cheers:

I asked this same question. BJV engineering (01442 834169), were recommended by somebody on here. There just off the M25 nr Kings Langley.

Cost me £160 to get my Alpina's refurbished, included the centre caps. Very good value and fantastic job of the wheels. If I was super critical, the painting on the centre caps was slightly lumpy, you can't see it on the car though.

I always recommend BJV. They did mine and they did an excellent job

Another 5star report for BJV, they did my wheels perfectly 2 years ago and they're still as new. I stripped the centre caps down to the metal rings and they painted those too for free.

BJV.

My out of round RD wheels are now roundish (well they don't shake your kidneys about) and are a good quality finish. Not to forget the 170 all in for 4 x17 wheels refurbed and powdercoated in silver. (They didn't do any wleding or anything, just cleaned the face up. The rear has a few dents etc, but they're rounder than they were, hold air and dont vibrate.

BJV sound like the db's, do they do mirror polishing? I should probably just phone them right....
