Thanks for the above guys.
Finally had my wheels refurbed by Stuart (i think??) from alloymaster as you suggested Mark, and really pleased with the job, would highly recomend them also.

They guy came travelled from Edinburgh to my home in Glasgow, did did the 4 wheels (took about 6hrs) and all for a very reasonable £200 cash.

And then, after a trackday last year, the wheels became so hot that the paint started blistering from the only wheel that I know has been refurbed and has now flaked off a wee bit. I think I might be looking for someone decent too soon.

Just a few things to be wary off,

That's a bit of a horror story, i'll keep that n mind when i get my wheels refurbed

He did not need the tyre off just broke the bead and put it back up after it dryed
so no tyre machine to mark it
