For cracks, Alloy Weldcraft in Wycombe might be a better bet. I used them to repair a wheel that needed a spot of weld after being kerbed at 40mph and they did a good job.
They're great at repairing cracks and welding wheels.

They are NOT good at refurbishing wheels. I've unfortunately learnt from this. The prep before painting is terrible, or possibly non existent.

The imperfections all remain, you can see them through the new paint. They just painted on top of the imperfections, without repairing. Very disappointing.

So if you've a crack, get the wheel taken there for sure. But use someone else for refurbishing alloys.
