[DJ_B4L]

any one know of any good companies that can strighten alloys and do a good refurb job need to get my wheels done

Not sure where in Kent you are but Fat Wheels are based on the Isle of Sheppey and have done some decent jobs in the past, not sure if they can straighten a wheel out tho.

Failing that you could try Lepsons in Gillingham, they can defo straighten wheels but I saw a set the other where the finish was flaking after about 1yr. Could be a one off as they have a great reputation normally.

Also further into Kent, is Spit and Polish, based in Tonbridge I think.

Only heard negative stuff about this lot. Lepsons have done lots of good work for people on here.

Aint dissing lepsons as I'm seen some fine work from them in the past. But the one set I see which my mate had done, I was shocked to learn the Lepsons had carried out the work and that they were peeling after about 9-12 months.

Likewise I've heard a couple of good things about Spit and Polish but have never used them myself.

[stuartgallafant]

spit and polish are shite!! i know loads of people who have had bad experiences with them.

lepsons are 99.9999% spot-on and are usually good with a guarantee, but if you get a polished lip like mine, they wont gaurantee it, as they dont know if you look after it properly...

i got a special deal on mine, as i know someone who knows someone!!! but they are more than worth the money at whatever price you pay. my wheels were like 50 pence pieces, and now they're amazing

[DJ_B4L]

can you get us the deal aswel stu lol

[stuartgallafant]

i could get you a deal, however, you would have to drop your wheels up to me... where in kent do you live? do you want me to have word? you know i live in croydon, junction 6 M25...

[DJ_B4L]

you have pm

I had nothing but trouble using spit and polish they even maneged to loos one of my wheels wich was a pain because they were'nt made any more so it turned in to a night mare trying to get a replacement . after that I got Lepsons to refurb a set for me they done a much better job and did not loose any of them . So I would use Lepsons again .

Got mine done at Lepsons, did a really good job. They charge Ԛ£50 a wheel which includes removing and refitting tyres
