After much searching for replacement wheels I decided to have a go at a refurb myself.
A little searching revealed that most scratches can be removed with sanding so I purchased a Halfords set of wet and dry sandpaper, 240, 600, 800 and 1200 grit for £2.99.
Some of my scratches were quite bad and had been annoying me I purchased the car in June. Starting out with the lowest grit and working towards the finest produced a really good result, a quick squirt with clear lacquer and a coat of colignite wax and I am very happy. I did both near side wheels in about 2hrs and will keep an eye on any rusting but the car is well kept as its a weekend toy so shouldn't be a problem. What do you guys think?
