20" 5 arm rotors refurb problem

Post by Whitter » Sun Jul 06, 2014 8:51 pm

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.

The edges are diamond cut polished finish, not painted.

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

Hyper silver is common.

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
