Alloy Wheel Refurbishment

Hi all, just picked up my 180 and unfortunately all the alloys have kerbing marks all the way around the edges. Never having to have alloys refurbished on any other cars im unsure a) can a decent wheel refurbisher bring them back to new-ish, b) how much can I expect to pay per wheel and c) most importantly can anyone recommend a good place to do it in the Ashby/Burton/Derby/Tamworth area?

Cheers
Dale

The last ones I had done were refurbished by the original wheel manufactures (KN Wheels in Telford) & they charged ?35 per (14 inch wheel, wheel size will affect price) if memory serves me right. I think they refurb any make of wheel as well.

I think there's a place near spaghetti junc' in Brum that gets good press but I can't think of the name, maybe someone on here might know who I'm thinking of?

That sounds a bit cheap, was that for a Tonka Truck lol I thought usual prices were anywhere from ?45+ per wheel. Very good price at 20 notes each!

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll give that chap in Tamworth a bell in the week then, does he do the full refurb on them or just a touch up?
