I've used the wheelspecialist to refurb my Vortex alloys, was the Swindon branch, they did a really good job tbh, and offered a discount price for a last minute booking. Around here they charge £288 for a full refurb + Paint colour of your choice. And cheaper still if you get one of the last minute deals, I think I managed to get it for £240 last time. Overall decent company though.

Only heard good things about them although they are on the expensive side of things. Quoted me £328 for full refurb, strip, balance and new valves. this was on 19s but with a discount code.

wel...
you will need to strip the tyre yourself and then re-fit+balance them...
not everyone got the tools to do it so i would say 190 difference?
and petrol money+time.....
plus if your alloy is in quite in bad shape city powdercoat is not your first choices really.....
