My thoughts exactly, was also quoted £450 but I have no details of their process and would also need to get the wheels to them in England with no loan wheels being offered.
Will send Powdertec an email?
If anyone is still following this topic - I've booked the car in at Powdertec, will keep you updated on the results when it's done!
They have a special February discount running, and can do the diamond-turned rim and also a full chemical dip, crack test, split and rebuild of both parts of the wheel. Sounds promising.

Picked mine up today from Powdertec Glasgow and I am very pleased. Bargin for £300!
Rubbish pic but by the light had gone by the time I got them home and fitted.
I went for a chrome rim with factory finish inner in glourious easy maintenence powder coating topped off with new centre caps.
I will be at the breakfast run this Sunday if anyone wants to inspect. Powder coating might not be for the purist but it's definitely value for money.
Powdertec themselves were a pleasure to deal with and drama free.

Think you were a day or so after me dropping off Iain so hopefully yours will be ready for the weekend.
Stopped off to collect the car this afternoon - excuse the quick iPhone snaps:
As you can see, it has the diamond-turned outer "basket" and the original silver shade (but powder coated instead of wet-finished) on the inner. Work even extended to the centre caps, which was an unexpected bonus, so now the shade matches across.
I had to leave my car on their premises due to logistics, but they were happy to accommodate this. Unsure how I'd feel were the car more valuable than an early 986, so I'd bear this in mind if you were thinking about getting the work done.
When Lepson's, Exel, etc charge £600+ (and extra if you supply the wheels with tyres or want the centre caps done), this place has the skills to do a decent job at a much more palatable price, a bit closer to home.

Yes Brian they are finished on the inside, you'll have to excuse our poor lighting & photography but the studio was fully booked.
