After an annoying incident involving some stupid member of the opposite sex deciding she would turn into a junction, I know have one kerbed OZ Superleggera.
If anyone knows of any national firms that can repair/refurbish damaged alloys, I would be grateful for details as I'm having trouble finding any.
cheers

Update: Getting the wheel repaired on Monday. Wicked Wheels guy was funnily enough in a VW garage when I rang him, and offered to come and do it that same day.
Price is up to £40 per wheel, depending on the level of work required.

Redline, glad you can get it sorted easily.
I got a quote from Wicked at £65 per wheel... Since their only standard alloys that I've got, it's nearly cheaper to get a brand new wheel

...I think it all depends on what damage you are asking them to repair...all the stories I've heard have been gud-uns...

Wicked Wheels guy came tonight about 5:30pm. And to be honest I couldnt recommend him more. Took him about 1.5-2hours to do two wheels, and the finish on them is superb, I really could not tell where one the front wheel it had been kerbed. He also repaired one of my back wheels where the lacquer had come off and that also is back to perfection.
So Ian thanks for telling me about him, and I would definetly recommend using him. He's hopefully going to do one of the wheels on my Dads Impreza this friday.
