Alloy Refurb (yet Another Topic ;-) )

[LexG]

I know there are dozens of topics related to alloy refurbs but not one that answers my question! lol

All four of my alloys are pretty badly curbed/corrosion problems, although it wasnt me! It was the previous owner, basicaly Im thinking about getting all four refurbed but I have no idea where to go, i.e. - reliable, fair prices, diamond cutting work etc etc, just an all round decent job - Im in the west sussex area, can travel around such as Guildford, Brighton etc but not too far! Can anyone recommend anywhere? and also the kind of expence I will be looking at - they are all fairly bad!

Any help is much appreciated! :D :D

Did mine in a day when i visited family,dropped the car off at 8:30 picked up at 4:pm.

4 Wheels diamond cut polished edge/powder coated £50 a wheel.

for a decent powder coated refurb your looking at £50-£60 per wheel, Pristine wheels based in Milton Keynes is a good one

Had mine refurbed recently after receiving quotes of between £200 and £500. The decision is ''If I go for the £500, I wonder if the £200 would have been adequate'' or ''If I go for the £200, would the £500 have been better''.

I went for the £200 and am more than pleased. I'd endorse the two suggestions from Scorps and Chris.S

I think Lepsons will pick the wheels up from your address......give em a ring.

Thank you all for the info and advice! I shall give Lexons a call this week.

Another option I have is that if anyone has a set of four alloys they wish to get rid of? Preferably in the same area as me - or are willing to travel half way or so then I may well be in for a new purchase :D , Im realy looking to spend around £150 - £200.

Thanks in advance

i tried lepsons ages ago on my 18 inch tte's, they said , get em to us and we will do them , needless to say there still on the car, looking slightly crappy

How do they refurb alloys that have a chrome rim or edge and the inside lets say in gunmetal grey? is it just the same process or will it cost me an arm and a leg?

an arm and a leg, unfortuneately
