Mate this is a forum designed to help fellow owners, my initial posts on both threads were intended that way.
You are not the only one reading them.
Have a good weekend

I think the "half a brain cell" comment kinda suggests you're being a touch condescending, Japski. Mikey was making a valid point, even if no-one had asked the question about warranty, so might be worth taking a deep breath and chilling out?

Anyway, I had a set diamond cut by Lepsons. The finish was lovely - best I've seen - but I didn't keep them so can't comment on durability.

It wasn't aimed at him or anyone. I am in an air conditioned office, I can assure you I am very chilled out.

They only option is to powder coat them but then you won't get the 'pop' of the original finish as the lacquer looks slightly milky.
Never had that issue with the various sets I've had done in the past, sounds like that would be caused by too low baking temp.
You can only tell if you put a powder coated one next to one with the original OEM finish, otherwise it would be very difficult to tell. I'm a bit of an anal bastard when it comes to wheels though and don't like the clearcoat powder that some put over the top to finish them off.

I had this or hyper silver (not sure which name it is exactly) on my last S with my Work wheels and they looked bloody amazing. I had so many comments on them so would definitely recommend this. If I bother to get the wheels done on my current S thats what I'll be going with.

Guys thank you for all your experiences and the entertainment I will have a look at Lepsons as I'm pretty keen on keeping the wheels in "original" finish.

Cheers!
