The best places take the tyre off the wheel, chemical dip them, repair any damage & then repaint/powder coat them.

A good few years ago on my Scooby I had that done at a small place near Wendover (IIRC) they finished job was fantastic & still looked good 4 years after it was done.

All in the prep.

Wasn't too expensive either I think it was about £240 all in.

They are the exact firm I am using, they are firstly repairing a buckled alloy (courtesy of my Daughter in her Twingo) and then they're doing a full refurb of my wheels in a couple of weeks.

Was that £300 for the wheel refurb and sorting the buckle or just your wheels? What size are they?

It's about £235 for a set of 17's from the place I'll probably use - http://www.romax-uk.com/index.html
