I got my Alpina's done at BJV engineering (01442 834169), were recommended by somebody on here. They are just off the M25 nr Kings Langley.

About a year ago it cost £160 incl caps (cash). They did a great job.

ypu, thanks falkster...

http://www.lepsons.com/

i got one bbs wheel and cap, cost £70 but is mint...like most places, i imagine they do a better price if you need 4 wheels done. the colour they use is really good and they got rid of all kerbing marks. i would deffo use them again and recommend them. here's my pic which doesn't do the job jusice to be honest....
