I used them after badly scraping an alloy on an almost brand new modern, came back looking as new and has been good for a year or so now. Cost £90.sprint95m wrote: ↑Sun Nov 12, 2017 11:07 am In a previous thread (last year?) Jod Clark gave a recommendation for these people,

I haven't had cause to use them myself but speaking to others locally who have, they do a job
but are "expensive".
If your wheels are sound, is there nobody local who can bead blast them for you?

Why were they rejected??SprintMWU773V wrote: ↑Sun Nov 12, 2017 9:11 am I took 2 sets of wheels for diamond cutting and both were rejected so I'm going to try Spit and Polish in Kent who come highly recommended.
Thanks Ian, be interesting to find out how good they are. I don't think my wheels have been cleaned in 37 years.sprint95m wrote: ↑Sun Nov 12, 2017 11:07 am In a previous thread (last year?) Jod Clark gave a recommendation for these people,

Apparently they had too much wobble so they couldn't cut them on the CNC machine. I tried a NOS set and another used set, both were rejected. They did offer to polish them but they did a pretty crappy job on one as a tryout so I just took them all back. I see no reason why they couldn't have got a good finish on them as Lepsons and Spit and Polish seem to have no problem. I chose them primarily because they were local but in reality I've wasted quite a long time. Probbaly wait till after Xmas now.RSi wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2017 12:43 pmWhy were they rejected??SprintMWU773V wrote: ↑Sun Nov 12, 2017 9:11 am I took 2 sets of wheels for diamond cutting and both were rejected so I'm going to try Spit and Polish in Kent who come highly recommended.
I have to send mine by courier as no one near me does them, so if I get that kind of reception it's gonna cost me a fortune in courier costsSprintMWU773V wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2017 1:02 pmApparently they had too much wobble so they couldn't cut them on the CNC machine.

Do you know anyone that's used them - it would be good to find out who had some done - do they do the black painted insert too I wonderSprintMWU773V wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2017 1:49 pm When I contacted Spit and Polish they quoted me all in including courier both ways. I can't remember what they quoted though as I've mislaid the email but it seemed reasonable.
Have you heard of Lepsons in Gillingham Kent, apparently they have branches all over the country - I've seen a set they've done and they look encredibl, I'll try and find a pic.SprintMWU773V wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2017 1:49 pm When I contacted Spit and Polish they quoted me all in including courier both ways.
