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.
