Default Wheels back from refurb :)

I was going to wait until I fitted these on my car before posting up some pics, but I just got these back today from Pristine and I'm so pleased I couldn't wait. I still need to refurb the centre caps, and if they turn out OK, I'll do a little write up. In case you're wondering, these are standard Honda OEM rims from a 2006 car. They have been powder coated gloss black and them diamond cut. The total cost was £239.70, which included courier delivery back to me. Huge thanks to those of you who recommended Pristine Alloys near Milton Keynes.

Not to my taste I'm afraid, but I'm glad you are pleased with Pristine's work

Look good. I'd consider I similar thing on my OEM 16's, but maybe with matt black inside spokes.

Very nice, looking forward to seeing them on the car.

Not bad, I was thinking along the same lines but anthracite instead of gloss black.
What was Pristines's turnaround time?

Turnaround was very quick, dropped them last Thursday and they were ready by Tuesday. I also considered both Matt Black and Anthracite and had a look at some sample wheels at Pristine. The Matt was very dull and just didn't look right, the Anthracite looked lovely and it was a close call between the two.

I am sorely tempted to do the same with mine but am still undecided to go for a gloss black or to match the (already quite dark) deep burgundy.

Have considered a deep bronze too but it's so hard to tell till they are actually on the car.

Wow! Just changing the colour between the spokes changes the whole look of the wheel.

As above, from the photo the quality of work looks good.

Looks good, I keep meaning to do something with my 16s to tidy them up too....

Look forward to seeing them on the car.
