Clark was recomending them to me and if they are good enough for him! Only snag is they need the tyres off the rims and I cant have my car off the road for any time.
Thought you had yours done last year? (stalker alert :shock: :lol: ) noticed your car on jacks for a while.

We recommend PPS to all our customers and they've done all the wheels on my previous cars aswell as the WR1 (had mine done in a bright silver as i dont really like the anthracite look). Taking the tyres off is a small price to pay considering they charge the same (if not cheaper than some) as most of the mobile guys who largely make a mess (in my opinion) of the wheels when the re-furb them - they come back like new from PPS and are much more durable than painting. If you're not happy with anything they'll happily re-do them without complaining - tell them I sent you if you want an extra fussy job :lol: :lol:

How much do they charge for a refurb Clark?

It depends on the size mate but for an 18" you're looking at 40 odd quid a wheel last time I checked,pretty cheap considering how they come back!

Whenever I've put a set of wheels into Keith on the Monday for example, I usually get them back by Wed/Thursday - last time I spoke to him he said they were turning them around pretty quickly as I've still to get him to re-furb this spare set of Prodrive wheels I have 8)
