same boat, i like them because they are different.

On another note, has anyone documented Porsche cayenne brakes on a GC8? i know offset will be an issue.

If i did do it again i probally would have gone a matte white maybe. But yes my main aim was to do something not as common on gc8's but still in my budget.

Gday Forde,

How did you find their work? Recommended? What was the cost per wheel, or total? Did they have any curb rash or anything to repair beforehand? Im super keen to get my wheels done in white whilst the cars under repair. (Although now im curious to know whether I should go gloss or matte white). Tino/Joe feel free to chime in.

If you dont want to discuss openly, please shoot me a PM.

Thanks in advance,

Brent.

I can only find on very slight imperfection in the work that is almost impossible to pick up. It is usually $55 per rim including blasting but i payed $60 for anti-graffiti (chemical resistant) which means you can clean them with almost anything you want without damaging them.
I had to get one rim repaired (lip machined down) that had slight curb damage, $70 from Alliance rim repairs.
