Call Chris at Elite Wheels and Tyres in Reading, fantastic quality work, price depends on size and finish etc, I have had 18s and 19s done this year.

Elite just send them to a wheel refurbisher and add a premium.

threesixty alloys in Reading and myalloys in Basingstoke both good

price depends on size, paint finish etc - both do full dip and repaint, split rims, diamond cutting etc

360 did a great job on my AMG wheels that are notoriously hard to work on due to their polished lip and embossed AMG logo. Recommended.

Even if he does it's still no more expensive than the other options, so I get value and the result I want.

Set of 20" alloys fully refurbished at threesixy for £300, or £408 at Elite who send them off to get them done - so its a third more.

300 Plus Vat at 360, so that's 360 .. so c12% difference and Elite as has been mentioned can usually loan you a set of wheels and they don't charge you for that...

Just had a set of wheels stripped and painted by Warfield Wheels in Bracknell behind John Nike.
They did a fantastic job, charged £50/wheel.
I think they also do diamond polishing.
Dropped them off Monday and picked them up Thursday - great service.
HTH.
Cheers, Pewe.

+1,they powder coated the wheels on my Cayenne last year - £60 per week and a flawless job inside and out, dropped them off Wednesday picked them up on the Thursday.

Slightly less than salubrious surroundings but top class finish.
