Then you've arrived at the right answer.
Chris always used to take the wheels to Lepsons, I expect he still does, and as you've identified that's the best place to go.
He provides a good service for a fair price, it would be cheaper to go direct but you have to have the car up on bricks for a week and find a way of getting the wheels to Lepsons as they usually only collect from the trade.
I've booked the chap behind this business: http://www.exelwheels.co.uk/
Guy called Chris, thoroughly nice chap. He drives a Volvo V70, used to drive a T5.
He gave me a bit of a discount and will pop over, take my wheels off, put some spare wheels on the car whilst he refurbs mine, then return and swap them over again.
Bosh.
