Is yours so badly damaged that a proper refurb won't do it for you?
Possibly although its not great Stuart. Whats the average cost of a refurb for a single wheel? My thinking is that of its about the same as a second hand wheel in good condition then I'd go for the wheel (also so I dont have one REALLY good one and 3 good ones).
For a back to metal full refurb, about £70-£85 should see you right.
Lepsons in Kent, or Platinum in Swindon will do it for that sort of money and have a shed load of recommendations each. If that's too far away from you I'm sure you'll get a good local recommendation from someone on here.

One warning, once you've had one done, you might want the others done too! They do a superb job 
Thats the danger I was trying to steer clear of. Just had a look at Lepsons and wandered to the full set price list. Also, A1 Alloys look pretty good too.Stuart Truman said:One warning, once you've had one done, you might want the others done too! They do a superb job
Dammit! :evil:
A full refurb of all of them might well cost you less than buying one mint one second hand.
Why don't you think about getting a SMART repair on the one wheel, which won't last forever but it will tidy it up a bit, then get a full proper refurb later on? How bad is the one?
Well within the capabilities of Lepsons
Ouch 
I think you'd be OK for SMART but it may not last forever, especially if you kerb it again.
No problem for Lepsons, as Stuart mentioned.

On the car when I bought it from Blacklines and no complaints so far. The stepping out was due to me misjudging the corner while turning right and clipping the kerb, stepping me out to the left
