I know these are not close to you but they do collect/deliver the wheels. I saw the work they do in person when I was going to get my wheels refurbished and it was first class and they even had a set of GTI wheels there and they were like new, they were not kerbed but they had marks on the face of them where water had got under the lacquer on the diamond cut faces.

I've not used either of these two companies, but I've heard of good reviews of both Pristine and Lepsons on various forums for alloy wheel refurbishment. Not in the OP's area, but Pristine do free courier collection and delivery. Lepsons look to have an offer on at the moment for free courier collection and delivery.

Not sure if that link will work but I saw these advertised  :drool:

Ive just noticed this,thanks they do look very nice :laugh: but Ive just had to cough up for our holiday which has left me a bit,ahem,challenged (kids bloomin holidays!!) so while I think I do fancy some new wheels I will have to wait a little while.

Believe so - alloy wheel refurbishment is now a big part of their business.
