Porsche wheels - Split Rims
We seem to be seeing rather a lot of split rim wheels on Porsches 911s that have various levels of corrosion - mainly on the rims but occasionally on the main part of the wheel. These can be repaired as as shown on our split rims page. Similar corrosion can sometimes be found on the wheels of BMW 'M' cars.

 

Badly corroded rim on another Porsche. The centre part of the wheel is okay so we refurbished just the rim (see photo below of finished wheel)

 

A refurbished wheel, we are unable to match the original finish of the polished metal rim, but feel that a painted finish is more hardwearing and less likely to corrode.

 

Corrosion on both the alloy centre and polished rim. When the corrosion is around the studs, it needs to be split and the alloy part of the wheel chemical dipped or bead blasted. For this, contact Lepson's

Alloy Wheel Repair
A good car can really be let down by scuffed, tarnished and tatty wheels. Replacing a whole alloy wheel can cost hundreds of pounds, but repairing the damaged area or refurbishing the whole wheel can cost a fraction of that amount.
