Hi guys, not long had my audi rs5, unfortunatly one of the wheels was kerbed so I've had it repaired/refurbed, they are the 20" 5 arm rotors in hyper silver I think it is, but the guys doing the refurb had done the job and cannot match the colour to the other wheels and has told me he cannot get another paint for the wheel? Has anyone else came across this? Or have any solutions?
I'm in the north east if anyone knows a man for the job?
Much appreciated!

Do all 4 or just get 2 done and fit them to one side. Next time use Lepsons.

FON.

Rule 1.

Ah ok, I guess theirs no way of matching the oem finish??

Thanks

The edges are diamond cut polished finish, not painted.

their not diamond cut they are just all silver (hyper silver I'm told)

Ah, just read it properly. Not sure on what the OEM paint code is, but you just need to find it and get them to order it

ive tried looking around internet and rang audi cam up with 1h7 as the paint code hyper silver, but guy doesn't seem to be able to sort it out like

Go somewhere else

This.

Hyper silver is common.

Recommendations on a good place in the north east?

SEM Sunderland are consistently good. Downside is they need the wheels for a few days. They'll give you a set of their own to drive with in the mean time if you like.

Every job I've had done in the Wheel Specialist (Westerhope) has had to be done twice. Their quality control is non-existent: it's basically whatever the customer is willing to put up with, which boils my piss as it wastes my time. And yet they get some really top end cars in for work... it makes no sense. I'll only be going there again if I'm desperate.

Fella - Lepsons in Gillingham, Kent are considered to be one of the best in the country - give them a call - they collect/deliver all over the UK
