   there is a company by me.
   'the wheels specialist'
   they got places everywhere.
   i no sure really, a refurb is usually 40quid per wheel.
   my mate got quoted 270 quid for a refurb and powder coat in white, by 'the wheels specialist'

    My mate got quoted £200 for his Superleggas to get refurbed in white,,that was in birmingham i think he said. I think white or black on 'r' rims. I have got glossy black 'r' rims on my 1.1 and i think they look mint

    I bought my 'R' rims already refurbed in Glossy black off ebay for £180,,but that was just for the alloys,,no tyres. So you can find some that are already refurbed and ready to go on your car But if you want to do them yourself mate then go for it.
