I've finally kerbed an alloy (badly) and have stone ships etc I'd like sorted on the others.

Where's the best place for a refurb? 'Money no object' end of the scale rather than 'Bob Bodger doing a respray for £50 a set'. Want them to be completely OEM looking, as if they have never been done.

Still Lepsons recommended on here? Kent's a bit far for me to travel but will do if they can do something like a 'whilst you wait' service as I'd be reluctant to post with the mixed reviews I've read about them (well, I'd want to see them before paying anyway regardless of where I go).

Ta all

Chris@excel wheels is hugely recommended by alot of people on 911UK, he also offers a pick up and loan wheels service (if you require it)

Dealt with him last year about some cup 2 wheels i was selling, very good knowledgeable chap.

Seconded. He did my C6. I think he uses Lepsons.

Probably worth mentioning Ross you have the Rotors so will need someone that can do a good diamond cut finish.

I'm not homosexual so don't have diamond cut wheels.

This company I rate the very best is Pristine wheels in MK. I've used them for my Porsche, Golf GTi 30, 2 x RS4's etc. They specialise in Audi OEM colours too and do colour match as I can vouch on the wife's Golf edition 30 BBS alloys. They do a 5 days pick up and turnaround service included in the price.

I do understand that Lepsons are top restorers too but I have never used them as I've never been disappointed with Pristine.

Good luck and let us know how you get on.

Sorry I forgot you have the non-gay painted rotors.

This. Did a great job on my B6 Avus. Had five done, 100 quid a wheel, and I know someone who recently had B8 S4 19 peelers done for the same price. Not the cheapest, and their pricing seems to be pot luck sometimes, but I wouldn't use anyone else for a car like an S4 or RS4.

I'm guessing you have the luxury of being able to just pop your car on your lovely new ramps for a week? If you are stuck for dropping off / collecting wheels, give me a shout, I'll see if I'm around with the snotter!

I've used Wheelworks and Lepsons, both good and deliver proper results.

However, I now require a little more of a bespoke service and finally found a company in Chichester, who I visited today and checked out. I was walked around their facilities (wheelworks did the same) and the company can do all sorts of wheel finishes from the diamond cut, to the custom colours and everything in between. They do a multi stage process to dip, clean, basecoat, clean, paint and bake the wheels. The main thing I look for in a reputable company is that if the mounting surface is left painted, walk away.

So tomorrow, I shall be dropping my car off to get my alloys and mirrors all in the OEM Titan finish for £350+VAT. I can report back next week.

Pristine are the recommended refurbishers by Audi, and rims are sent there if the customer wants a proper job doing rather than a 'out of the back of a van' bodge, sorry, repair. Seen plenty of their finished wheels, including diamond cut, and they are to a very high standard. Unfortunately, it doesn't take long for the majority of drivers (RS drivers being the exception of course!) to kerb them again......

Thank you all for the comments.

Few companies there for me to check out.

Will report back when I pull the trigger (after my Germany trip this weekend).

I'll be interested in your findings. I need to refurb two of my homosexual rotors. I had intended to go satin black, but the more I look at the car I think the homosexual finish suits it better and would rather stick with OEM if possible.

Had my v spokes done in dark anthracite not to dark
