If you go any of the chrome routes be aware Lepsons now make you sign a disclaimer that they can't match a single wheel back up if you subsequently kerb one.

If you wait until Tuesday or Wednesday I can let you know how succesful or not they were at matching my existing wheels...

Probably be quite hard for paint matching again for them maybe?
Bugger it, think I'm keeping standard colour. Can anyone tell me color/code and if they are matt, satin, don't look very glossy so guessing they ain't that.

Well they did a great job on the matching up so no problem in the end although I guess is more complex than their standard colours hence the disclaimer.

I previously had them done in "bright sparkle silver" which is one of their standard finishes and looked very close to OEM as I remember them - it would also be easier for them to match as is an all over colour and so less discretion needed on the part of the painter.

Picture of mine just after I bought it in 2012 with titanium standard alloys. Not the greatest picture but I hope it helps.
