Default Wheel repair/refurb

One or more of my wheels is buckled, and they are all kerbed.

I was going to buy a new set of wheels, but guess I could save a few bob by having them refurbed.

Can anyone recommend somewhere to get it done?
In the London/Kent area?

Ta.

Andy

I was offered a good set of Spectras with very good tyres for £120 at a yard I go to.

I've got 17" Thor alloys at the mo.
Tyres are ok, will need replacing in the next year I reckon.
Just thought the wheels could do with a bit of a tidy up.

Shame they returned a set to me in the wrong colour though. And only painted over the wrong colour as a fix.

Currently using The Wheel Specialist and have had excellent service..

I need to get my alloys sorted for this year so rang Perfection alloys as want a price for complete strip and repaint. They pick up wheels leave the car on jacks and need 3 days to do a proper job £275.00 + vat. I can get a set of replica pegs plus tyres for £400.00. Trying to make my mind up what to do.
