Main reason is the set I wanted were £600+ and these just had a new pair of tyres on the rear when I got it.

I was happy with the design and comfort of the smaller wheel and bigger tyre, silver just didn't look great.

Either way I think I would have refurbed the new set to the same colour, silver on Tanzanite not to my taste.

Was going to get mine done in gunmetal but the shade they had was a bit to light for me so I went with darker grey colour and I think it was a very good decision. I really really like it.
The centre caps are in horrible condition but new ones are on the way so will replace them as soon as they arrive.

Did you go to the same place as me?

Very nice finish and I find that no matter what people say, decision always comes down to what you see on the day and the variety shown.

Great thing about mine is the colour looks more a dark gunmetal in lower light and a slight more blue and metallic look in light.

Thanks!

I had mine done by Smart Wheels in Manchester. It's the 2nd time they did my wheels and I'm super happy with their job. I wasn't sure if it was the right choice of a colour but damn I'm so happy with it. It looks so much better in real life than the pics.

Also my new monochromatic centre caps arrived today. Another improvement.

BTW The car is so dirty and it was washed yesterday. I'm sick of this bullshit weather

Very nice finish and for not much money a refurb can really change the look.

Prefer OEM colour caps personally, but ETTO and completes the stealth look on yours.

Thanks, well worth the cash!

That is a fantastic price compared with my local place. Worth the drive to Birmingham.

EDIT: local quote today £430!

Wow that's a lot. I paid for mine 220 at smart wheels in manchester. Proper refurb job, powder coating and a warranty.

That's a new set of wheels! I can understand a higher price for diamond cut and would expect a price of about £90 a corner for that, but powder coating should be cheaper.

City wheels in Birmingham charge £200 for a set of 18s or 19s in powder coat and can be done in one day...drop off at 8am and done by 5pm.
