If I had 22" ACS rims needing refurb I would send them to Lepsons - not used them & my advice purely based on consistent testimonials I have read in past................They do warranty repair work for Mercedes.

Failing that wait for other recommendations based on recent work or trawl for posts on other forums- plenty of uk based online discussion content around.

I could name others but ideally you want to see recent forum testimonials - In past have seen folk speak negatively of refurb specialists who have prior had decent reputation.

Hi,

If you need a collection and drop-off service contact Chris at http://www.exelwheels.co.uk/.

He uses Lepsons. Not sure what areas he covers though.

Lepsons is your best choice really. They actually did one of the set before I purchased them off Mark @ BMAutosport. Basically the set I bought were brand new but one of the rims had a few storage marks as it was the display one. Mark sent it to Lepsons to get redone and they matched it to the original finish perfectly.
