try wickedwheels, if they are in range..

also there is Lipsons, but they are north of london, very good but may be out of range ?
 
I used Lepsons a few years back, not on a Porsche though. They were excellent - shot blast, powder coat, diamond turn and lacquer - good as new, and despite some blogs saying they're expensive, they were cheapest around at the time. Problem is collection - they collect free, but not where I am and not from Reading either I guess. I dropped mine off and collected 5 days later.

Just this week had cause to do the same again, to refurb wheels on my XJS I'm selling. Lepsons couldn't pick up again, so I have used Wicked Wheels. They collected from me, and whilst they're based in Stubbington they refer to another of their units "up country" - not sure where but worth a try. They charged me £75/wheel for the same as above, but including removing and replacing tyres and balancing. 7 day turn around.

Can't see your wheels clearly, if they're painted (powder coated) it will be cheaper than above as you won't get loaded for the diamond turning.

The other place I looked at was wheelrefurbishing.com, think they're Herts based, a good website, and same service as Lepsons and WW.

Good luck !
 
Elite Wheels in Reading did a set for me a couple of years ago. Back then I had a BMW and they simply gave me a set of steel rims to drive on for the week that the refurb took. Don't kow if they will be able to give you 993 rims. Worth trying since very local to you.

You could also try Greg Dawson at Amazing Alloys - Based in Tilehurst, Reading - He was at one of the R19 monthly events a while back.

He did a very good job of repairing an 18" 3 spoke OZ wheel on my BMW
