More info needed. Are yours:mr2tourist wrote:As above really ^
- 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.
If you're not living life on the edge, you're taking up too much room!

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....
