I've collected a set of 5 15" BBS now with caps and want to get them refurbed. A little bit of research on the net shows I'm gonna be spending about Ԛ£130.
Anyone got any advice to give about refurbs before I go ahead?
will they look like new when they come back?

Yup: Send em to lepsons.
Great reputation, wheras if you send em anywhere else best advice I could give is to make sure you check their work & see if their previous customers are satisfied.

Basically go with recommendations as said earlier, should come back as new. Personally i've just refurbed mine myself in motorsport style colours, still cost 30 quid for paint/paper etc. They were kerbed/sratched and well dirty as i gave them to someone else when i had Alpina reps fitted. Rescued and restored them last week. One day prepping and another painting they now look new again. Not a bad job too if i say so myself...! Roll on the full resto.

When I was looking for somewhere I thought BJV looked like a good place but was told that the standard of the finish isn't great by someone that had used them.
