Funny enought I had a Mk5 gti before the Ed30 with 18" Monza's and had them done at Lepsons but the polished face crazed really badly after a couple of months. Do Lepsons paint as well?

Then you in particular will understand why I powdercoated my Monza 18's, Neil :happy2:



^ Smoked Chrome powdercoated look very different in different lighting conditions ^



^ Smoked Chrome ^

....No, it was A1 Wheel Renovation, Wolverhampton but more of a custom finish because I discussed it with the painter himself and he dusted the inserts with the Smoked Chrome over the overall black in order to get the effect.

The varied effect shows up differently on a Monza's shape than it would on a multi-spoke style like the Pescara.
