When i purchased car the wheels had just been diamond cut but i noticed a few blemishes i wasnt happy with.
So i asked to get them redone only to be told they were at their limit (3 times???) for diamond cutting.

Now I am not a fan of diamond cut alloys in general (look good new, but tarnish very quickly), so it gave me an excuse to get wheels redone in a color to suit car.
But what color??

Eventually settled on what i think is called smoked chrome. Sides of spokes are darker than alloy face. Also got some new centers which are body coloured.
I'm happy with how they turned out, really pleased with service of wheels people too. Think colour choice goes well with Agate, and easier to clean.....this being the family run around.

A previous post people mentioned popping up pic once i decided, so a few pics below.

Looks good and similar to Porsche Vesuvius Grey which is a new wheel colour option for the Cayenne. Which is considerably dearer than the diamond cut version of the same wheel. So definitely an upgrade… Result 👍
