That sounds rather reasonable. Bit of a silly question, but if i drive in there with said curved alloy, is there some kind of loan wheel given or does one usually leave the car with them?

If you phone and tell them it's on an Aston Marti the price rises to £99

normally leave the car with them....had my dbs for 2 days....or take off said wheel and drop it into them...

Lovely, thank you for the advice, and feel to add any more recommendations a little closer to east london if i have to public transport my way back!

Can I assume the main dealer that services my car should be avoided in terms of having my pants pulled down?

£75 a wheel when they did mine. Next door to Trinity Engineering.
Dealers outsource and add a margin

These guys are good, in Kent:

Better at fixing wheels than building websites anyway

I used www.alloy-wheel-refurbs.com on the A10 in Cheshunt a couple of years back, although I took the wheel off the car, minus centre cap, as I didn't want him to know it was off an Aston

Are they diamond cut wheels? If so the cost will be more

The 2 best in the south east are either wheels Works as mentioned by Tony or Lepsons in north Kent. Both are very good. Many of the dealers use Lepsons. I have personally used both

Also, I would only go with powder coating. The cheaper jobs are generally just a strip, fill, spray/lacquer job and this rarely lasts.

My recommendation (but a bit out of your way) would be http://www.pristinealloywheels.co.uk/ here in MK.

They are not diamond cut i dont believe, just standard 2006 19 inch Vantage V8 wheels.

I just want the best standard finish refurb.

Many thanks for everyones advice.
