Any recommendations?

Mine aren't battered, scratched or scabby, just losing some lacquer - would be nice to get refreshed.

I'm in Havant, so anywhere Chichester to Fareham of interest, I work in Waterlooville..

I'm not from your neck of the woods, but have had several cars that I have had the wheels refurbished on, I highly recommend having them shot blast and powder coated. The powder coating is easy to live with as the brake dust doesn't seem to adhere to it like paint does. Also I had some diamond cut alloys that had the lacquer lift after one winter.
The powder coat is a lot more hardy than paint and lacquer.

I am having mine done at a place in Maidenhead on the Golf GTD before handing back to VW. Will let you they go with it.
