Need 2 wheels doing on the Boxster. I guess my options are either to drive somewhere and wait (how long does it take?) or have a mobile unit do it? I am based near Camberley.

If you actually want a good job... http://www.wheelrefurbishing.co.uk/ as per the sticky. You can either have the wheels collected or leave the car there.

I used www.wheelsapproved.co.uk in Woking and was very pleased with the results.

There's a place in Deepcut. I used them to try and straighten a couple of wheels which he farmed out to someone else, so i haven't actually used him for a refurb. But the ones he did have there looked a good job.
Just up the hill from the Cafe. Best leave your car on stands for a couple days and drop the wheels off.
Got his number somewhere

I've heard Elite have gone down hill recently which my detailer has backed up. He recommended & I've since used twice My Alloys in Basingstoke http://www.myalloys.co.uk/. Cheaper than Elite too looking at their prices.

Not mega local, although not a million miles away in Crawley. www.wheelworksuk.co.uk I have used them and was very pleased with the results. They can do a day service there although you may have to wait a while for them to book it in. I found it an pleasant experience going there!

Platinum swindon are the only refurb company I use for my clients wheels.

http://www.platinumwheelrefurb.com/

They've completed 2/3 piece splits of various supercars for me. They even completed some 66 Ferrari 275 gtb/4 wires for me. They are exceptional at what they do and can only trust them in my years of experience. Even if I have to do the 70 mile round trip!
