Question recommendations for Wheel refurb in nottingham area

so; got quote £34 by local kwik fit to remove tyres from 4 rims.
Anyone know of somewhere to get it done MUCH cheaper?
MickJG?/City tyres???

Also; One rim has a slight buckle from a pot hole.
That needs removing/fixing

Minor damage to three rims (kerbed) want em a darker colour (probably black) and I want em SHINY
current lacquer is fubar.
Chipsaway etc isnt an option.
I want it done right.
Will probably need a chemical clean too and shotblasting..

Any thoughts on where?
If its local to nottingham even better.
Cheers

I used a place in Daybrook - near Frank Key builders. Daybrook Tyres I think it was. Cheaper than the place next door (Cross & Storer). Somewhere around £50/wheel for full refurb IIRC. Owner's name is Shaun

Pretty good - they even managed to source the logos (Tecnomagnesio) for them, included in the cost.

Of course, the wheels are now scraped again (courtesy of huuuuuge kerbs in QMC car park during large number of recent visits )

i dont realy deal with that sort of work but i could take the tyre off ready to be refurb and when they are done could refit them with a new valve and balance all of them.
i will drop you a PM with mobile No.
