The wheels on my blob STi are looking pretty tired. There is minor kerbing on a couple, a dent in the rim on one (I hit a brick on the road ) and mild corrosion.

I tried contacting a local company called Rims and Trims but they said they can't deal with corrosion, which rather surprised me.

I don't particularly want new wheels but is it possible to get these refurbished for materially less than it would cost me to buy new ones? There is a nice set of Inovits on eBay for just under £400 so there isn't a great deal of point in refurbishing mine if it costs almost that much.

Does anyone have any recommendations for places in West Yorks for this (preferably near Leeds)?

Chemical stripping, bead blast to remove corrosion, powder coat and finishing should cost around £200 for the four. I have a number of firms to choose from down here in Essex. It's worth doing a search for your area for a firm that does the full job.
(have you filled that cubby hole up with odds 'n sods yet)

there is a place in cleckheaton that does them i can find out the name if its not too far out for you? its not far from leeds in my opinion!

That was roughly how much I was expecting but I have some damage to repair as well and so far I've found people who seem to do either one or the other but not both. Would this price include sorting out kerbing and the dent in the rim?

PS My cubby hole is not completely full but it's already been useful to put USB cables in (we often seem to end up with about 5 devices plugged into various things) and it looks stock. I'm really pleased with it.

Yes please. Cleckheaton isn't that far.
