there is a firm in St Annes who do them from £25 a wheel. I had my Clio wheels done and they look as new.
Easy enough mate, but it takes a lot of time. I got mine sand blasted for a fiver a wheel down the docks. If they are curbed you have 2 easy options, fill with JB Weld and file/sand back, or grind the scrubbing off. Then just paint them up. Just take your time doing the prep work and youll be fine.
As Russel says though, £25 a wheel is v.cheap, id be tempted to take them there...

i refurbed mine, thing is they have polished lips just blocked them down with p80 then worked my way up to p1500 and relaqued, if u have really deep curb marks u can weld them in, u can use filler if there small just be carefull when fittin tires.Cheers Anil

Every motor factors i have been in sells the stuff, ask for jb wels, chemical metal, or cold weld metal putty.
