As the title suggests - I had my BBS wheels refurbed last week - anyone interested in costs etc - let me know I can pass the details on.

Cheers

When I saw the first 2 pics and saw "this is what they used to look like" I was wondering why you'd got them refurbed!

And then I realised....

Those are really nicely done

Just watch those kerbs now!

Simon...off topic, check the FAO!

Who refurbs split rims for you guys then?

Anywhere in the South East?

Why don't Lepsons do them?

Post Mon Apr 25, 2005 8:32 pm

Steve Cull is BrillianT!

As for refurbing, i know a few people who will take the job on including yours truly, but its better to give to the specialists as I can only do them when I have time!

Lepsons e-mail..

These wheels are two piece split rims we do not take these wheels on due to the damage that is caused to the lacquer when the studs are put back in.

Sorry

I met him at Margam last year, he had some stuff with him.

I've also spoke to someone who wasn't to impressed with his work, but I guess it's up to me to try.... :lol:
