Who is the best company to recondition OZ Split rims properly?
I want new nuts preferably stainless or titanium, polished and laquered with original OZ stickers.

You will have major problems with modern laquers sticking to polished rims, they will probably only last a year before they start going milky.

Won't be cheap either, especially if new bolts as you are looking somewhere in the region of £250 quids worth of bolts alone.

I'd be surprised if you could find a company with the 2 correct tools to split the rims (although they are avaiable privately I believe).

I too have a set of splits that need some attention - only the outside edge though. Bolts etc are fine.

Try Lepsons, based in Gillingham and Swindon

Did a great job on my wheels earlier in the year (see profile pic) and will be able to talk you through what they can do over the phone. They also offer collection and delivery if the wheels are off your car.

When I went in to see them about 5 years ago with a view to having my O.Z. split rims refurbished, they couldn't / wouldn't touch them, partly because of the lack of tools, and partly I think because of the potential difficulties in re-sealing them.

Cheers for that, approx £35 a wheel for the scuffing I need sorting...Now all I need to do is borrow some wheels whilst mine are being sorted rotate
