I used Pristine a few years ago when I had my previous mk5 and needed the Monza IIs done.
Make sure you do all four as the finish is different to the factory but still very shiny and sexy. My grey was slightly darker than the VW grey (half way between mk5 GTI and mk5.5 GTI Monza colour).
The diamond cut finish was slightly different too.

The looked absolutely gorgeous when they came back and people always used to comment on them in petrol stations and the like!

I can't remember exactly how much is was but including dropping off to my local agent, tyres off, packed and posted, then tyres back on again it was well under £300. One of my rims needed a bit of weld repair too due to clumsy previous owner. I think they can sometimes do a wheel for wheel exchange to keep the time down if they have enough in stock.
The guy I sold the car to phoned me a few weeks after they bought it saying his Mrs had kerbed one of the rims and was gutted. I phoned to see how much they would do just the one rim for and it was over a hundred quid for one. They quote a much better 'package' price. So be warned - look after 'em when you get 'em back!!!  :wink:
