RS alloys

[stephen]

Need help. Am a proud owner of a tdi sport but the alloys need a bit of attention the last owner was registered blind and used the wheels as a marker to judge the kerb. So can you recommend a company to refurbish them or is any one selling the alloys
I am based in the south of england but would travell if the recommendation was good.
Thankyou

Stephen

I had one of mine done at lepsons www.lepsons.com cost about £80 WASN`T to pleased with there first effort but after some home truths they did it agin FOC and the finish is perfect.

Beware though they do state they refurb "NOT" make like new so some blemishs remain.

However since having the wheel repaired i have read a number of articles regarding wheel repairs and the stress` caused upon the rim, which apparently weaken the wheel. I know this doesn`t help but non-the-less it is useful to be aware of potential problems.

Having said all this, every wheel i have evere had repaired has caused me no problem what so ever and all have been repaired there.

Did a quick search to get the website and came across this mob as well www.alloywheelrefurb.co.uk.

Regards Jon

You could just get them bead blasted and stove enamelled. Any scraps on the edge of the alloys will still be there, but they don't look too bad when they are painted.
