Any one had problems with colour matching a refurbished wheel to rest of car, body shop tells me to go to England to do complete wheel as no one in Scotland does this. They are 20" sports that were poorly repaired at Opc a few weeks back.1

I had all four wheels (21"Turbo's) refurbished a few weeks ago at The Wheel Specialist Inverness, they made a brilliant job and cost was £480. The full wheel was certainly painted and even the new balancing weights match the colour.
I would highly recommend them. :D
If you google thewheelspecialistinverness you will see photos.

Loads of garages in Scotland will refurbish wheels.

I believe it can be difficult to colour match a single wheel. They often recommend getting all 4 wheels done.

You would think that Porsche or Audi would be able to easily match a single wheel .......for a price.

Kinghorn are the only Porsche approved body shop in Aberdeen and can't do it so hVe sent it south to be done , as I just bought car from Porsche Edinburgh they are paying for it but only the one wheel they poorly refurbished themselves.
