Default Are Lepsons still 'the' place for wheel refurb's ?

Looking to get a set of alloys refurbed and diamond cut, been many years since I've had a set done.

Are Lepson's still the best place to go down South ?

Cheers !

Default Lepsons

They did my Escos alloys back in 1995.
When I sold the car in 2010 they were still mint

They did the last refurb for me as well, and still good but things change over time so thought I'd ask !

Wouldn't use Spit and Polish Stu, no experience myself but others have and it wasn't positive.

I used pristine wheels in milton keynes, for my 16 inch diamond cut RS7's for my S1,The wheel's look mint,but they would only paint the centres,not diamond cut them which was a bit disappointing, so I had to buy new centres, which do look slightly different to the wheel finish. Prices and turn around time were good too.

have to say that the 3 sets i had done were not diamond cut in any way, just straight refurb and powder coat, so i can't vouch for that

As said they're called Platinum wheel now and all of my wheels were done by them and they are still fine (after about 3 years), I really rate them and have always been very happy with the job they do.
