Thanks all for some great leads. I need to figure out the logistics because I don’t have a second set to use, so therefore unable to drop mine off!! Not sure about leaving the entire car?

Hadn’t thought of that! LOL

Posh Wash was actually the guys that Oli18 used as well and I think he did leave his car there - I thought the depot he used was somewhere like Shepherds Bush

I can recommend South West Wheel Repairs in Exeter.

They did a set of D3 fat fives for me a couple of years ago and did a superb job. They're not cheap, but they do proper paint rather than rubbish powder coat. They don't do diamond cutting though.

You can leave the car with them too - they often have a workshop full of high-end German stuff on axle stands. Not sure how long it takes like that though.

I had mine done at Lepsons in Gillingham. You can leave the car with them, or remove the wheels yourself and they will collect and deliver.

I've got some Lepson refinished Rotors on mine. Looked a quality job before I fitted tyres and put them I the car. Heard some good things about a company... something like Wheel Specialists on the Barwell Estate opposite Chessington World of Adventures but never used them myself.

Lepsons pretty much always get good write-ups on here. The Wheel Specialists are a (national) franchise operation now, and in my experience you tend to pay a bit more if you go with them, though when I used them their work was good. You also have to put up with them bumping the price up, then getting a "special discount", which is pretty much always available .

I read that as though you weren't happy with them once you fitted them...
