Hard to do it justice in a photo, because the look changes depending on angle and light, but here you go:  :happy2:


Are you Dorset based (going on the photos)? If so did you use a local company for the refurb' and do you rate their service / cost?

Yeah, well spotted! I used Silverwheels in Ferndown:




http://www.silverwheelsltd.co.uk/

I would certainly recommend them. They know their craft well and are happy to do custom jobs. They do a  3 coat finish on the wheels and can do a set in a day. I paid £300 for repairing and colouring my wheels which I thought was a decent price. They seem to have a good reputation and I have seen Porsches, Aston Martins etc in there.


They look great and that's just up the road from me in Christchurch . Do you think smoked chrome would look ok on candy white ?

Hard to say, but I reckon it would probably look pretty good yeah. I would recommend going there having a chat with them and looking at their samples. They made up a smoked chrome sample wheel for me and it should still be there. It's definitely worth seeing because you can't be sure of how it looks till you see it 'in the flesh'. Personally it was too dark for my taste so I asked for it to be lightened up a bit for my wheels. It is a cool colour though, because as they would tell you, every time they do it, it will be a very slightly different colour. This means that your wheels will be unique!

If you had wheels just diamond cut again surely if you looked after them they would last ?? See I need to get mine done only because of curb damage due to previous owner ..not white worm

They look really good.

What cour do they use on the face? And how much was it? Looking to get mine done next month and these look great

They told me it was the same shade as vw silver (the same shade as the 17" standard monzas) I'm sure, it was £320, they are in Edinburgh but they also have a place in Glasgow.

Look great mate! Hopefully will last the test of time well too.

Did you give them a good seal before fitting them back on?
