I am on the look out for a good alloy wheel repair where the owner doesn't drive an Aventador on the profits!

Its a single 20" LR wheel in flat silver, its the only one that has damage in the set I am looking at, they are cheap at £400 for the lot but they are also on ditch finders so another £600 on new tyres.

Cwmbran's TWS will charge over £100 a wheel, I know places in London that do an excellent job for £25! With rates and unit rental cheaper here how come i can't find a cheaper place?

Thanks all , thats the sort of thing I needed. Its an old car and I just want it to look ok, not a million quid.

As it happens I won a nicer set on ebay that are all mint wheels, but might refurb the old 16"s and use as winter wheels.

Never actually needed to. I’m just up near silverstone collecting my wheels off eBay but hoping they look good enough not to need a refurb.

I'll keep those guys in mind. The wheels on my Clio look terrible. The wheels sit proud of the tyre and a few minor touches have left my wheels looking horrendous (diamond cut too, so I can't respray them myself).
When searching for alloys for mine, I noticed a lot of diamond cut wheels were getting the full powder treatment, They still look very good without the worry of them being diamond cut.
