I recently had 4 done by SEM at Suhderland(the only one of 3 northern teams still in the premiership!!!)
I posted pics somewhere on here.
Excellent finish,no warranty,but up to now they are still as new.

I used Pristine to do a set on my last mk5. The finish was different to the original and they said they preferred to do them in sets as they couldn't 100% match the original BBS finish. Needless to say I had the complete set re-done (as 3 needed refurbing and the other one had a couple of small marks on it) and they looked the bollox. I still see the car around from time to time and the finish still looks okay on them despite the new owner kissing a few kerbs.

Not local to you but A1 wheels in Wolverhampton will re-finish to a better standard than the original wheels!

They aren't the cheapest but as far as Im concerned they are the best!

They will remove and re-fit the tyres and new valves. Reckon on 100 - 150 per wheel.  :happy2:
