I live on Teesside and would like to change colour of my wheels.
Car is Grey and I am looking at Gloss Black wheels.
I am wanting to stay within Porsche colours.

Who refurbishes wheels locally on Teesside for Porsche?

Looking for a quotation.
What should I be paying for the set?

Welcome to our friendly forum. :)

Can't recommend a specialist in your area, but I think about £400 for the set of four wheels should be about right.

Which wheels do you have? Careful if it’s forged ones as too high a baking temp can affect their strength

Hi guys, been thinking the same.

Is there any one you could recommend in Kent.?

I have 20” sport wheels in standard silver. Was thinking of magnesium or graphite.

I know it’s a personal thing but would be interested in your thoughts.

Thanks

Lepsons in Gillingham would be the obvious choice for me.

Spit & Polish in Tonbridge. I have used these guys. Friendly service, no nonsense approach and reasonably priced.

High Black Gloss look great but they will show every scratch / mark on them and because they are wheels are prone to this,I’ve had them and I’m OTT with cleaning but still got swirl marks on them,I’m going for Satin Black next time.

I agree that Spit and Polish are also very good, do the work for my local Aston Martin dealer. Spoiled for choice in Kent!

Cheers guys.

Bought the car with silver wheels, seen me through the winter and looking to get them painted for the spring.

To get it right, it wasn’t magnesium, it was platinum that I had seen on the Tequipment store. Also they are the Sport design wheels not the Sport Classic that I have..
