I am reliably informed that you have used Lepsons to do your wheels - any comments on quality/finish etc?

I am unbelievably picky.

Yep, lepsons did a set of mag alloys for my dad as a birthday prezzie. They didnt know they were mag so they did 1 alloy again coz it wasnt up to standard, BUT the finished article nearly made my dad cum in his pants!
Laquer job was top notch, paint on them was top too.
I intend sending my BBS there to get them refurbed, seen as I was happy with the job.

I have had prolly 45-50 sets refurbed @ lepsons, only set I ever had to send back were my alpinas as I was unhappy with the centre cap finish and the aformentioned one of Scotts which was duller than the rest and had the odd bubble here and there

Cant recommend them enough, I have used ALL the alternatives and none made the grade for finish or service.

i have lepsons refurbed wheels i have been to alot of shows and i have yet to see a set off wheels on any car that is there with a finish + the quality of it, that betters a lepsons job

Chatting to a guy at Gaydon with an Alpina C2 2.7 touring, he said he wants to get his wheels done knows a good place bla bla............... so i say lepsons bit far from u but have a look at mine

Has a look, nuff said :D
