does anyone know any decent/cheap alloy wheel refurbishers near sussex?
i have a set of 16" alpina replicas (not BK171's) and i'm thinking of freshening them up at some point. has anyone ever got a set of these diamond cut? also wondering about black or anthracite...

One highly recommended place : Lepsons
Click on that link, and contact them to find out costs, etc.
You may feel they are slightly more expensive compared to certain 'other' refurb places, but Lepsons' quality will speak for itself !
Hope this helps...

no i think lepsons are less than that. I had my 8x16 alpina wheel straightened and stuff plus a refurb for Ԛ£45
standard refurb is Ԛ£35 i think for a 16 incher

Lepsons are definitely not expensive, and judging by some of the examples that have been shown on here, a top notch job too!!
Shame they won't touch my split rims though.....

i may well take them over later... they want Ԛ£45 + vat each so that's not bad...
i did ask about getting the rim polished and they'll do that for the same price!!!
methinks, polished rim and dark centres will look niiiiice and a bit different! any thoughts?
