I didn't get them refurbed , but was told that they had been done by Lepsons. I had only heard good reports about them so thought they would be spot on, I have heard a couple of bad reports recently.I believe one of their branches has closed.

How would you feel if you worked for Lepsons and found someone started badmouthing the company, yet that person doesn't even know who refurbed the wheels for the previous owner!?!

Sounds very much like they were done on the cheap prior to sale with a quick wet painting of the faces. A wheel that has another layer of paint added on top peels - a wheel that has been stripped and powder coated does not

DK, Bretto might be an Aussie but he's not a Queensland redneck. Four Ex is on par with Forsters, get him some Coopers (Pale Ale) or some Little Creatures, failing that, just give him a punch in the head. A punch in the head is like a handshake to an Aussie.

They have labels on them with Lepsons name on, and I never said they were peeling , just a very poor finish.
