Picked them up this morning. It's exactly one month to the day when I dropped them off.

I'll start by saying, I will never recommend that company to anyone for the following reasons:
1) We had an agreed date and they were delayed.
2) Got them back and the inserts were not the colour I requested
3) They tried to give me donor wheels from 2 different owners (who did not know their wheels were being given away)
4) My wheels were being done a second time and they were again delayed
5) They bent my lock nuts with their impact gun (even pointed out by their fitter who was quickly told to shut up)
6) The manager had an argument with me upon collection when I asked about the damaged lock nuts and told me to leave the garage until the work was done.
7) The wheels the second time around although are the correct colour have minor flaws from dust getting onto the diamond face before the lacquer went on

Here is the final result:



You can see three minor specs under the lacquer in this photo. Two look to be air bubbles and the third a bit of black dirt.

Yay, glad you got them and they're the right colour... What a journey! The actual diamond cut looks pretty good quality apart from the dust you already pointed out. What a shame they failed at so many other points.

Looks like they have used a high feed rate when doing the diamond cutting although could be the magnification,I'd be worried about those air bubbles,any trapped moisture and it's only a matter of time before the whiteworm returns.
The calipers look fantastic.
