Re: Wheel refurbishment - Bristol/South West
Nobody able to give a recommendation? I want to get my 928 alloys refurb'd but would prefer a recommendation rather than going somewhere 'blind'AlexS wrote:Hi all,

Lepsons is the "Clubs'" refurbisher. They're in Gillingham Kent but courier & offer storage. TIPEC members get a discount with them & i believe there is a deal on the courier.

Re: Wheel refurbishment - Bristol/South West
Rather coincidentally, I found a chap just the other day on my way back from the MOT Station..AlexS wrote:Hi all,

Thanks!
He is a single man outfit, with Apprentice, but has a background in Classic Car Restoration.
We started talking about the wheels on my 968, I want them to be body colour [Guards Red] and he took me through the ways it could be done and then the only correct way to do it
 He is a top bloke.. He is going to have my 968 for the week doing the Wheels, and will post photos of the finished product on here once done.

Looking through into his Workshop he has a Booth etc. so is setup for it..
His name is Dan Cox, company is DCAlloys, EX31 3TD Barnstaple.. 01271 267570
I guess that might be a bit of a drive for you, but I think it might be worth it.. Certainly have a chat with him and mention that I [red Porsche 968 Sport] recommended him to you..

Hasta Luego

Thanks for the recommendation! I love it around Barnstaple (we had a week away in Appledore last year), so if I can find an excuse to head down that way then I willkingroon wrote:His name is Dan Cox, company is DCAlloys, EX31 3TD Barnstaple.. 01271 267570

Re: Wheel refurbishment - Bristol/South West
I usually check Google for recommendations, I count on the review to see if it's reputable.
I have never tried to fix the wheel of my car before as I usually replace it with a new one. You can find a lot of affordable and quality wheels at stores like 4wheelonline.
