I'm having all the alloys on my IS 300 refurbished in a couple of weeks time, taking them to Lepsons in Gillingham as heard lots of good things about them.

Not really sure what finish and colour to go for so would appreciate some of your ideas. The colour of my car is Platinum Ice and the alloys are the 6 spoke 18's

cheers

When I had mine refurbed I had them done in the same silver, but now regret not getting the face polished as I think that would look amazing.

Other than that, on a silver car silver wheels go well, or possibly something a little darker, some sort of light grey or black chrome maybe.......

The big benefit is no more punctures and of course not having to check the tyre pressures any more.

I love the way they fill the arches !

They are great - can you get them in pink?

What the hell are those? Is that something you use to rest the car when the wheels are off?

Google PXwheels.

Send them your old/kerbed/pitted alloys and they will send you some nice shiny ones.

Strike that ... Reverse it .... we send you the new shiny wheels first, you have them fitted, we collect your old scruffy ones.
