Wicked Wheels did mine 18 months ago and they are still like new - I was very pleased so well worth trying to persuade them to come out imho.

Spit and polish did a really poor job on my wheels.Im looking to get them re-done if anyone knows someone good in the South east.

DS mentioned are the best without doubt, but the best costs.....I was more than happy with the cost and turnaround at spit and polish, would definitely use them again

I had Lepsons do mine on the 996 (18" turbos)-finish and turnaround were superb

I think Wicked Wheels are a series of independent franchises so the results depend very much on the owner/operator of that franchise.

Lepsons. Very impressed. Refurbed the Brabus wheels and the Alpina wheels, very good job.

Lepsons we're recommended to me, but they made a right pigs ear of my Csl wheels, and because they're 19's, they charged double the cost of 18's......

Ditto on my old Fuchs - they were cheap but still poor value

The West London OPC has quoted me £150 incl VAT per wheel - they send them away for a few days, implying the job gets done properly, I suppose.

My car's booked in next week for some warranty work, so I may as well get this done (need all 4 wheels refurbed). It's just so much hassle leaving the car/wheels with the reputable outfits. At least this way I get a loan car for the week from the OPC!
