I think www.pristinealloywheels.co.uk do a better job than lepsons 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. CT |

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.
