Another vote for Lap Tab in Birmingham. I had 4 alloys refubished, they did an excellent job, and I found the prices to be very competitive.

By 'refurbish' do you mean a quick clean up and respray?
OP's wheel has a big dent in the rim. Can that be successfully manipulated back into shape without affecting the strength of the wheel?

Yes, so long as wheel is not cracked and still round then lap tab can do a good job on them. They are stripped right back, filled and properly prepped and sprayed. We get loads of wheels refurbed. If theyve gone wonky and out of round, like some of the BMW ones, or have a crack, then they are scrapped. We have a place near us that sells odd alloy wheels, so we sometimes get one from him if a wheel has to be scrapped.

Well the wheels were not out of shape, but had quite a bit of surface scaring and chips deeper than the paint. They were shot blasted and the blemished filled, and then resprayed.
I found them to be very professional and informative, so I guess the OP should take the wheel to a reputable place and ask for advice.
