I collected my i8 today with its standard Turbine wheels painted blue by a wheel specialist in Kent.

They did a great job! For the money, I think this is the best cosmetic modification I've done to a car.







In case anyone else is interested, the wheel specialist I used is Lepsons in Gillingham. My contact was Helen@lepsons.com

wheels really do look spot-on,like the car should have rolled out of the factory on them.

Looks great Jas, congrats. cool Garage looks great too (though the pics on the wall need straightening tongue out).

Lepsons are v decent. I used them when I had my Alpina Softlines refurbished. Expensive though.

I wasn't sure at first, but on reflection they really suit the car!

Thank you all for your positive comments smile Glad everyone likes them.

I was at the Motors by the Moat event at Leeds Castle yesterday displaying the car in the fenced off Supercar group. It was notable that everyone who commented thought the wheel colour was a factory fit option, so I guess they do indeed look like they belong.

I'm really pleased with the way it turned out, as I took a huge risk with the car smile

Thanks again guys, I really appreciate the comments.
