| Hi all
I'm looking to get my set of ra's refurbed soon but I need to decide where to take them. My initial thoughts are to use Lepsons as I've seen some ra's done there that were absolutely gorgeous. The only downside is that they are down in Kent so it's a bit of a trek to drop them off and pick up.
Has anybody used wheel genie in huntingdon? If so what is the quality of their work like? Or are there any other highly regarded wheel refurb places in the area?
Cheers Toby | |

| They are very good but can be pricey so go see them and get a quote first | |

| Hey Lee
When you say pricey do you know roughly what they charge for a typical refurb on a set of 4 15's? There's no kerb damage but I want the full acid dip, bead blast and powder coat process. If I was to go to Lepsons I'm expecting to pay a minimum of around £250. | |

I'm aiming for an original OEM finish. my blaster is coming to me on the 7th and i can fit a 22inch rim init, if all goes to plan i may get a unit and start a propper buissness and used a very good coaters a few times before. i can have wheels blasted before the 7th else where if you want them soon. and theres 1000 colours you can choose from so it depends how close you want to get a match fella, the coaters i go to have a really nice silver which has a slight sparkle to it and looks really smart. - Tiz wrote:
