Hi Everyone Just had my wheels refurbished and colour changed. I was planning on going bright silver but have gone with a black base and a sparkle bright silver over the top, not everyone's cup of tea but I'm pleased with the result. Cost £280 for the 4 including the centre caps being coded the same colour, tyre removal, refit, balancing, valves and putting the wheels back on the car. I was going to go with Lepsons but I had a tour of a place local to me and was impressed with their work. All done in house and they also had a hunter 4 wheel alignment machine, so I got that done at the same time. If I change my mind about the colour I can always get them altered. Lots of pics here, some in the shade and some in the sun. https://www.flickr.com/photos/127106037@N07/shares... Edited by finestjammy on Saturday 2nd April 16:44

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Sparkle-tastic! Where did you have them done then? The availability of the Hunter kit is a definite bonus I agree!

Nice! Different, too; well done.
Powder coated and baked or wet painted? How long did they have the car for?
DJMC said: Powder coated and baked or wet painted? How long did they have the car for? Probably best if I refer to their description on how the refurbishment process works http://www.autodynamicsonline.co.uk/alloy-wheel-re... I have winter and summer wheels so I wasn't in a rush. Left the summers with them for a week. Not sure how quick they can turn them around if needed though. I imagine that as they specialise in alloys and tyre sales too they'll probably be able to sort a loan set out. Edited by finestjammy on Saturday 2nd April 21:35
I'm toying with the idea of a colour change for mine. But that's probably for a different thread.
Looking good...nice colour against the car. I must admit I'd never have wheels wet painted over powder coating as the powder coat is a lot less susceptible to chipping.

I debated both options, I really liked the look of painted finish though. I've had them protected with the full range of these products, so fingers crossed they'll keep looking good for a while http://proglasscoat.com
