wheel refirb - how much and where ?

Post by CosmosblueMR2 »

Hi all,

just keeping my options open... does anyone know how much it costs to refurb alloys ?...

was thinking of getting the rims repairs (scuff marks from inept parking) and while i was at it get the rims redone in another colour (maybe gunmetal - shiney dark smoke colour - best i can explain it really)


anyone know how much ? or can recommend a place ? - I'v heard of some place in Kent - but the name escapes me.

(I''m in essex by the way so probably need to be local(ish)
cheers for any info :wink:

Lepsoms - that's the kiddy ! =D>

yep my mate used them on his skyline wheels - going on his 200sx.
If you could take me along that would be really kind of you !!

usual silly scenario though... how do i get my wheels to them - looks like I'll have to hire another car ! haha.
or maybe I could ponse a lift off that mate of mine - how far are they from Dartford Bry ?

hi dude.
lepsoms are in gillingham.
i orginally got a quote of £40+VAT a wheel.
they wanted to see my alloys, and due to being deep dish and not your average finish, now they want £55+VAT a wheel. standard rerurb of my volks.

of and if i wanted any colour on there, they said £80+VAT a wheel.

so there you go mate, lol!

25 more an alloy to add a lik of paint tho is a bit crazy! (ie, a crazy colour)

Looks like I will have to take a trip over to them and "discuss"

get a quote from them that they will stick to... seems a bit silly ramping the price up like that ! :shock:


Bry.. let me know when you are about after this weekend's festivities (bolney etc) - will have to come down there with you. - I know you work some funny hours - but I'm ok for weekends.


cheers
Frank.

ps - you two going to Bolney tomorrow ? - I'm joining the IMOC and MR2OC convoy at Pease Pottage at 10:40-11:15 ish.

but first picking up a few at Thurrock and going in convoy from there at 9:45am if you are..

hope so ! :thumright:
