Refurbed Monza II here- LEPSONS.
« on: 07 May 2009, 21:06 »
The picture below is a finished example from Lepsons wheel refurbishment, can anyone else see that the Diamond cut finish looks different? (could there example be a non-genuine).
Just wanna know b4 I send it off they can get it right.

Looks very good to me.  With refurbs, they never get the shiny face exactly the same as oem but its much less visible than corrosion or curb damage

The example were highlighted-the insert looks like it doesnt go to the edge where its cut, and as I'm only geting one refurbed I want it exact.
Tried emailing other companys but no one bothers reply or answering there phones! :angry: :angry:

firstly I dont know if thats a genuine Monza they have refurbed , ask them to show you the stamps on the other side.
Anyway the nature of machining the face means that some material always is removed and some features can and do change. edges , wheel nut holes etc
It also means that certain types of wheel can only be refurbed once before it cant be done again (and usually means you have to powder coat rather than machine)
Normally you have to get at least 1 side of the car done (2 wheels) but pref all  as they never match 'exactly'
Id be tempted to buy off ebay or dealer for a new Monza if its only 1 you need....

seems the same to me - just looks a little different because it doesn't have a tyre on it - just my opinion

Its a replica no doubt.. the area you have circled is wider than the area on a OEM wheel,however looks like an excellent quality job.

....Def a replica imo.

The Lepsons pic looks very heavily Photoshop'd too.

Lepsons only guarantee painted finishes, ie normal silver type finish for 1 year.  They give no guarantee on diamond cut polished finsihes.

....

Reading this thread makes me extra glad that I powdercoated my original Monza 18's rather than refurb'd them from the white worm.
