Does anyone no a good company that will do 17" black wheels for my blob also where can i buy them from? Cheers!

 

Lepsons in Gillingham will look after your existing 17's, properly prep'd and coloured.

Picking mine up next week and they look awesome.

I will post up a thread next week with pics and details of a who to contact for deals.

 

Nice 1, I didnt think of getting them painted good call! Gillingham is only 40 mins down the road aswell. I tried to ring them but no answer, Do you know how much it is and how long they need the wheels for?

 

Was going to get my alloys done black,but bought Rota Gravel alloys from Rare Rims.I did this because my mate had alloys painted red and the stone chips he collected really upset him.Mine are Gunmetal.

 

If you email them from the website you'll get a reply from Andy Lepenwell who normally deals with sales emails. Mention Stu (that would be me) and STi 17's from the Subaru Club you should give you our price. Jason and Dan looked after my wheels and they were really top fellas and I can't recommend them enough tbh. I went gloss black and I will post up some pics next week They are closed Saturday PM IIRC but if you ring Monday you should get through to Louise in the office. Personally I would email they are pretty quick to reply.

Prices include tyre removal and refitment, I supplied new tyres for one of my sets but for the other they refitted the existing tyres. Because they do all of this in house clearly they have a vested interest in fitting the tyres without damaging as could be the case with a third party fitter.

 

Lepsons finish is powdercoated and lacquered and as strong if not stronger (and of better finish) than my rota torques in gunmetal

 

 

I was going to say stay away from black as it makes the tyres look grey / brown / dirty .......Anthracite, gunmetal, bright flitter etc would be my choice IMHO

My car is black and I think black wheels look cheap as if they have had the once over with black gloss paint. Each to their own of course. Gunmetal/anthracite look good. Gay gold for me.
