I think www.pristinealloywheels.co.uk do a better job than lepsons :smokin: I had a focus RS with dimaond cut wheels origionally done by lepsons and re done by pristine, pristines job was better and lasted longer.. they also did a gloss black set for me too !

Hi
Lepsons did mine and although the fronts are ok the rears have marks on them...looks to me like its been caused by the clamps on a conveyor system for painting..not very good.:bigcry:

Sadly probably not for much longer. However, it will be a small price to pay as ultimately it should lead to my main goal and thats 997 GT3 ownership. Won't be for a while though

Cool I'm not too far from Gills, they quoted me £55 ex vat per wheel if I leave the wheels with them. Not as bad as I thought and seemed pretty knowledgable on the phone. I'll post some pics shortly of before then after once I get them back.

Here's the damage FFS! Back wheel still has brake dust caked on from recent track day.

are you sure they realised it is 19 inch

normally 17" = £55, 18"= 65 and 19" = £75 exc vat

Pristine are the ones that did my rays in the Matt Gun, from the bronze .. really really top drawer job, and service ... £75 per rim from memory, which is not as good as it used to be :whistle:

I need to get mine done too, just not sure if I want to keep them silver or not.

How good of match do the guys in the UK do when compared to the OEM finish?

[wazadaza]

Well finally had the two alloys done at Lepsons and I must say they have a done fantastic job! cost me £75 plus VAT per wheel as the paint is called 'chrome silver' so costs more than standard silver.







very pleased, now just need to scrub up the other two to match.
