how much did Lepsons charge for the wheel refurb?

What method did they use?
thanks

£308 + VAT including taking the tyres off and balancing when refitted (it's £260 if you supply bare wheels).

They chemically strip them back to bare metal, wash, bake, powder coat, cure in oven then spray paint and lacquer. Takes 3-4 days.
Saw the massive stack of van delivery schedules for the next day when I went down to pick my wheels up - they do a lot of work for other workshops!

That's not bad at all really.

I assume they do the whole wheel right back to the inner lip where the tyre meets the wheel on the inside and not just the outer part?

Some only do it to just behind the spokes and not the whole wheel. Looks okay when moving but stationary it's noticeable.

Yeah I think it's good value - same price up to 18" rims.

Yes they do the entire wheel - front, back, inside.
