Question

I've decided its time to get my wheels refurbished, and thought I'd use the chance to change the colour. The car is a MY99 DBM wagon with the standard 5-spokes. I was thinking of going anthracite. So, does anyone know the paint code for P1 anthracite wheels?

Also anyone got any piccies of anthracite 5-spokes.

I was going to use Wicked Wheels for the service, as seems like a good price and turn around. Any comments on them?

Hi. Wicked Wheels operate out of mobile units, or workshops. They have various operators who look after different parts of the country. Have a look on their website for who is looks after your area: www.wicked-wheels.co.uk.

Since posting, I'm actually probably going to use a different company, Spit & Polish. Wicked wheels do a same day service, so I'm not 100% sure on the quality of the paint and laquer that is used. If I use S&P they have a longer cure time, which will probably give a better and longer lasting finish. They are based in Kent but again have various agents. Not sure of they cover Oxon though.
