There is a Lepsons down here in Kent, which are re-knowned for being the best refurb company around, so assuming they are both the same companies, i would say yes definately the people for the job.

I used Lepsons to refurb my Hartge wheels and they did an excellent job. It was £280 for 4 wheels and they refurbished them in about 4 days. I went to the one in Kent, but if the Swindon one is of the same standard, I would definitely recommend them.

Thanks for your response guys. Yes, the swindon one is part of the same company, just a new branch according to their website. Im sure it would hold the same standard as the kent branch.

i used lepsons last week in swindon, dealt with a very nice chap called jason. only needed one 15" bbs doing and to cut a long story short, he did it with a perfect finish and also switched around and balanced 3 tyres for no extra charge....i would definately recommend them, great value too!! about £65ish for the wheel and £10 for centre cap. can get cheaper but not worth the hassle IMO :D

I used Lepsons to refub my 15" Hartge's
This is after a year, I took them off to clean the mud out from Le Mans

Lepsons A prob the best wheel refurb people in south east. There refurbs always come back with dust free finish unlike spit and polish and the color match is good to. How ever I would not recomend them for wheels with a dimond cut face or lip! I had them refurb a set of 20in ACS type 5 alloys that came back with the black part of the wheel painted in anthracite and the edge where the dimond cut was done was very rough. They did offer to do them again but when i got them back the second time the embossed AC Schnitzer logo on the spokes was missing a R at the end on 2 of the wheels!!

I had a very good job by a firm called Diamond styling in west London on my two piece BBS.
and a set of 14ins Alpinas .
Good but expensive.

Lepsons in Kent are good for refurbs, not so good for getting buckles out!
