After 8 years the paint finish on my OZ Alleggerita's was finally in urgent need of refurbishment (no photos sorry). I think the new colour (custom) shows off the wheel shape better.

RR, she's still looking the dingles!  :notworthy:

Yeap I agree re the wheel colour showing off the shape a little better. I was SO CLOSE to buying a set of the Alleggerita's recently and re read this review a "few" times.

I spot some new stoppers too Robin....  Wheels look great in that slightly lighter(?) colour!

RedRobin:
Hi Martin and Rich - Long time me not visited here! I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing as I thought I had stopped modding a while ago!

Yep, the new stoppers are revo-by-Alcon 355mm 6-pot calipers and smoother than my previous AP Racing 4-pot. Both extremely effective stoppers but the new ones are of course much fresher and hard braking feels more progressively smoother.

The new colour is lighter, Rich, and not just a trick of the light. The guy I bravely went to (one-man metalworking business on a farm in the Dorset hills) could only powdercoat in a limited selection of colours but as his 'titanium' was very pale indeed we decided to add black underneath. It has quite a lot of metallic lustre almost glitter and it did worry me a bit that they might be bling but when on the car and even in bright sunlight they look smart (in my opinion) and can appear aluminium, dull silver (not chrome bright), or just light grey. I am well pleased and he has lacquered them well too.

In fact, Jim at JKM who has seen and handled quite a few alloys in his time, told me that a very good job had been done and that was without me asking for his opinion.

This photo shows how much glitter the sh*t has been rolled in :
