Most BMW dealers workshops offer a wheel refurb service, although many have mobile guys in the rear car park messing with them!
Why must it be in the NW?
I had a set of BBS RZ's refurbed (including centre caps and hex nuts) last year by Lepsons of Kent. They were recommended by a zoner on here and I was immensely impressed with the results and service. They offered a free pickup from home and return service, took seven days, which for me included having new tyres fitted at the same time.

Remember what Sir Henry Royce used to say..."the quality remains long after the price is forgotten"
Or as many people say...."you get what you pay for"
Get it spent and give your pride and joy a treat!......you'll not be disappointed.

I'm a bit reluctant as I used them for my E46 M3 wheels and they started going
again after 2 years. I want local so I can take them back if they are not A1.

Diamond cut wheels with clear will always start to go after ab year or so. Its just the nature of them and the finish

Hiya,i used National Alloys in Widnes to refurbish a set of BBS alloys on a 320i Convertible I had around four years ago.The alloys were were in a poor state when I left the car and I have to say they did a really great job.This photo probably not the best to demonstrate but it really was a top job

I remember the guy was very enthusiastic about my car and E30s in general.
