      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 !

      couple of pics of the finish

          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?

                              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.
