I went to Lepsons in Gillingham. Perhaps a bit more expensive than you'd like, but I can't fault the finish of the wheels that I had refurbed.
Another option is Spit & Polish in Tonbridge. Possibly cheaper but not as good a finish as Lepsons.

I tried lepsons before and couldn't fault them , probably will go with them but just thought I'd check if there's any cheaper around

If it's cheaper then it's probably cheaper for a reason. At least with Lepsons you know it'll be a good job.
I have a Alpina rep that has a ding on the inside in it.They look really good condition so dont need a refurb just the ding sorting out so there straight.Do you know if Lepsons can sort that and roughly how much it might be.
Sorry too pounce on the thread.

How much exactly can be refurbed on alpina (reps) wheels? Just like a sandblast, powdercoat/polish? Or can curb-damage be corrected? IDK if these pics will show it. They are pretty bad IMO. Almost embarrasing to drive around, although I bought the car with the wheel damage.



Not sure if these show the worst. Mainly these are pics of the arch damage. It's dark now, so I couldn't get pictures of the full rims.

They can easily remove curb damage and even repair slightly buckled wheels. Mine had similar damage, if not slightly deeper on some wheels, and came back looking like this:
