Default Alloy Refurb in Berkshire/ Surrey

Bugger - I've kerbed one of the wheels.

Anyone had good experience with a company than can do a top notch job on it?

Cheers Pip.
I might take you up on that.


Do you know if they are just repair the one bit - or will need to do the entire wheel. Or will they need to do all 4.

Ideally - Just want the affected wheel back to standard.

Gas if you speak to them, could you ask them if they can completely re-do a wheel? I want to get the 7 wheels sorted out, and have them coloured

I know they can redo entire wheels. I've seen Pip's.
They look very good.

They did the wheels on my last S2K - the results were stunning ... all the wheel, not just repairs .... I had to send the wheels to them - the car spent a week on axle stands but it was well worth it !!

They did my S2000 wheels .... which due to the type they are (polished ?) they had to send to Lepsons .... as per my post above.

The guys at Wicked Wheels were excellent in their own right though - they came out, took the wheels away, left the car on axle stands and returned them a week later in top condition

Unless it has changed they can't do standard S2000 wheels unless you want a normal finish and not the finish they left the factory with ....

I used Lepsons in Swindon and was very pleased with the result. But I had a spare set of wheels for the car whilst they were doing mine.

Did realise Lepsons were in Swindon too. Was going to suggest their Gillingham, Kent, base
