Lepsons - dutton84 - 25:th-Mar-2015 Wondering if anyone has had any alloys refurbed with Lepsons http://www.lepsons.com/ Been looking online over the past few days and a lot of people say they're the best in the country. £108 for diamond cut alloys. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Lepsons - J1ODYA - 26:th-Mar-2015 Lots on detailing world use them... think I heard it's the one Gillingham way is best. Lepsons - dutton84 - 1:st-Apr-2015 Was thinking of getting the gun metal spayed gloss black. Seen loads about lately. Good or bad idea? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Or 2nd option.... Getting the whole alloy sprayed, binning off the diamond cut. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: Lepsons - tucpal - 2:nd-Apr-2015 for cheapness get the hole lot powder coated the same color  but black and diamond cut would look very good    Lepsons - DE5IRED - 2:nd-Apr-2015 I'm going to be using them very soon heard great things deffinatly gloss black with Dimond would look the best but either way I'm sure it will be a great job they will do Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Lepsons - dutton84 - 2:nd-Apr-2015 Not to sure if I'm going to use them now though. I was going to use the free courier service they offer with being 2 hours away from Gillingham but I'm the fussiest barstard known to man and if I get a crap job (which I know is unlikely) it would be a pain in the arse to sort out. They're expensive too so I'd want them to be bang on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Lepsons - dutton84 - 13:th-Apr-2015 Finally got the alloys done £408 later Used http://www.xtremealloys.co.uk/ in the end. Done a really good job. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk What they did look like Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: Lepsons - WhelanUK - 13:th-Apr-2015 They look bang on RE: Lepsons - tucpal - 14:th-Apr-2015 they have come up very nice mate and there a very nice set of alloys wish they did them in my stud pattern but now we need to see them on the car  Lepsons - dutton84 - 14:th-Apr-2015 Yeah really happy with them. Got a mate coming round to fit the finest tyres the world has ever seen ... A pair of Nankangs and a pair of Acceleras........ (I had to skimp somewhere) then swap them over on Friday or Saturday Oh and thanks to you and rusty for all the advice Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: Lepsons - tucpal - 14:th-Apr-2015 your welcome RE: Lepsons - Rusty2009 - 14:th-Apr-2015 They have come out really good a top job done there. Lepsons - DE5IRED - 14:th-Apr-2015 They look mint Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: Lepsons - JohnL - 14:th-Apr-2015 They have come out really well where are they based I really need to get a couple of mine done. Lepsons - DE5IRED - 14:th-Apr-2015 I think there near Southampton I heard Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk RE: Lepsons - cornishtaz - 14:th-Apr-2015 I think you'll find Lepsons are a national company Lepsons - dutton84 - 14:th-Apr-2015 I got them done here http://www.xtremealloys.co.uk/ it's in Fareham in between Portsmouth and Southampton, didn't go with Lepsons in the end The machine Xtreme alloys use cost £250,000. Everything's brand new. Be going nearly 2 years I think. Lepsons use a manual lathe cutting machine. According to the bloke at Xtreme alloys Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Lepsons - DE5IRED - 14:th-Apr-2015 Lepsons quoted me £528 and got a quote today locally for £400 Lepsons are pricey but heard good things but after seeing yours I wouldn't even look twice at Lepsons for that price and quality you got Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk RE: Lepsons - JohnL - 14:th-Apr-2015 Bit to far from me :( I'm going to keep looking I did one local company which reckoned they could repair the wheel and then do a paint finish they mimicked the diamond cut but had a more hardwearing finish. When I actually spoke to so them in person it wasn't the case. Yet to find somewhere local that will touch the wheels. Lepsons - DE5IRED - 14:th-Apr-2015 Where abouts you based ? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Lepsons - dutton84 - 14:th-Apr-2015 I got quoted £436 including vat but that was with standard finish. I wanted them colour coded which would of been another £12 per alloy! Plus I'd of had to use their courier services with living to far away. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk And if I wasn't happy with the finish it would of been a pain to sort out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Lepsons - DE5IRED - 14:th-Apr-2015 I understand that fair bit away from Southampton lol You had a touch tho them being cheaper and superb quality they look new You got them on the car yet and any pics ? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Lepsons - dutton84 - 14:th-Apr-2015 I know I'm still shocked at how good they come out. Should have them on by Saturday and I'll get some pictures sorted. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Lepsons - dutton84 - 18:th-Apr-2015 She's all done Need to give it a proper clean now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: Lepsons - Rusty2009 - 18:th-Apr-2015 Looking good mate, you did put the right tyre size on for the 5 door? Lepsons - dutton84 - 18:th-Apr-2015 235/40. Please tell me that's right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: Lepsons - cornishtaz - 18:th-Apr-2015 235/40/20 is correct for the GTC not sure about the 5dr RE: Lepsons - Rusty2009 - 18:th-Apr-2015 They don't list 20" on the 5 door but I found it's smaller than the GTC as the GTC has bigger wheel arches. 235/40/20 for the GTC/VXR would be 235/30/20 for the 5 door. If you get any rubbing on lock etc you know you need to go down in tyre size. But they do look good and do suit the 5-door RE: Lepsons - cornishtaz - 18:th-Apr-2015 VXR is 245 35 20 Lepsons - dutton84 - 18:th-Apr-2015 Yeah my mate said they are close. I put it on full lock and it doesn't touch. Not been out in yet though. Gonna have a quick blast round the block. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yeah they're fine. Was worried there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Lepsons - dutton84 - 18:th-Apr-2015 Just had a run on the motorway. Speedo seems better now. With the 17'' on the speedo reads 80mph and the satnav 75mph. Doing 80 now it reads 77-78mph My work van reads 2mph over too. 5mph over with the 17" seems a bit much. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Lepsons - DE5IRED - 18:th-Apr-2015 Looks great mate Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: Lepsons - tucpal - 19:th-Apr-2015 love them well done
