Default Anthracite Wheels or repaint standard wheels ?

I am looking to buy new tyres as mine are goosed. I currently have gold standard 17" on my 02 STi, but want Anthracite. Options are to buy somenew ones as a package (18") or get my standard ones repainted.

Thing is, I am sending Emails out to various places and no one seems to want to answer my bloody questions.

So, can anyone give me some help on the following...

Where could I get my wheels repainted in a durable custom colour (dark anthracite) ?

Who sells 18" Anthracite PF7 replica's with tyre packages (F1's or T1-R's) so I can shop around ??. Revolution replica's look good, but I can't stretch to £869 and don't want to put budget tyres on to bring the price down.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers

Neil

I am looking at that, but I have sent PM regarding some info yesterday, and had no reply. The offset on these wheels is 38, and from the little info I know, this seems quite far from the standard offset. I want to understand what effect this will have.

I had some Speedline GT1's refurbished by http://www.wickedwheels.co.uk/index.htm Totally stripped down to bare metal. Powder coated to a dark anthricite. iirc £300 was roughly what i paid. Fantastic finish.
