Sorry but they look refurb. Seen them first hand and the job has been done really well but as with many, they look coated. I am a big fan of diamond cut and I think this would make them. In terms of corrosion, well it's part of owning alloys.

One of those tyres appears to be made in China

Those tyres need some dressing. The wheels look quite tasty (rusty wheel nuts aside).

Is it me or is one of the nuts pointing in a different direction?

Been thinking of getting my wheels done soon, and I'm glad to see someone has used the Swindon branch of Lepsons and are happy with the service and quality of their work.

Would be interested to know the final price (or at least a ballpark figure) and if these were powder coated or sprayed?
