Goooood afternoon ladies 
I've purchased some lovely beaten up alloys which require quite a desperate refurb, who would you reccomend for such as thing?
I imagine it will involve some welding, painting (whats best, painting or powder coating?) and it needs one of the wheel bolt seats sorted/replaced.
Answers on a Internet Postcard plz

Best in the business IMO mate.

My A4 wheels were battered when I got the car. They done a fantastic job.
Only pic I have but there is alot of light so doesn't do it justice mate.
But you get what you pay for as they are not the cheapest out there.

Not bothered about distance, I've been given another contact ooop noooorth which I would just courier the wheels over.
Theres a guy locally who can do it £40 a wheel but I'm unsure if he'll be able to do all the repairs or just monkey them up.

I had my Cav slabs done by these guy's on my Turbo.. First attempt the powdercoat started to crack on all 5 wheels as the oven was at the wrong temp when baking them.. Granted they sorted them as soon as it happened but when they was done, the wheels did have the odd bits in them and quite orange peely to look at. For the money they was ok but the work was not even close to my Audi wheels. And the Audi wheels are powdercoated aswell and the finish is second to none.

I had my Teg wheels done by Lepsons in Swindon, but they have one out your way. They do everything needed to get them like new.
