More info needed. Are yours:

- OEM/aftermarket*
- 1piece/2 piece/3 piece**

* If OEM are they the diamond cut ones?
** Some places won't entertain 3 piece wheels: issues with barrel sealing.

It would help to know what part of Kent. How far are you prepared to travel?

As already mentioned:
Lepsons in Gillingham - http://www.lepsons.com/
Spit & Polish in Tonbridge - http://www.spitandpolish.co.uk/home.html

Also
Diamond Styling in Sevenoaks - http://www.diamondstyling.co.uk/

Btw, Lepsons aren't cheap. Their basic stock finish is £72 per wheel...

However, if you're not in a hurry my recommendation would be this guy.

James did these which I have on my Rev 4. Well worth waiting for imo.

James did my Advans as well. They look great now, though I didn't go for the full polished option, just powdercoated centres / painted dish. They may well go back for that at some point....
