Anyone used or heard anything about 1st for alloys?

They are based in Shire Lane, Orpington.

Yep, I've looked at Lepsons as they seem to come highly recommended. The 1stforalloys place is 10 mins walking distance away from me though so it would be really convenient, but I've not come across them before.

Lepsons often do a free pick up and drop off courier service, so you might find it is even more convenient with the benefit of the excellent reputation.

Lepsons or Wicked Wheels in Crawley are the only 2 I use and would recommend

I second that, have had 6 sets done over the years and they are absolutely brilliant, had a set of (don't laugh) Kawasaki green ones done once and they even done some wheel weights the same colour for me when I picked them up, didn't even cross my mind seeing the silver weights, now that's what I call service it's the little things sometimes.

They do 3 different Anthracites and can colour match the WR1 wheel to order.

Mine are 'Light Antracite'

What is it you are after?

Silversurfer is correct in saying that Lepsons do 3 standard anthracite colours.

I have had one set of my wheels done in Dark Anthracite you can see a few shots of the here in this thread http://www.southeastscoobies.co.uk/v...ad.php?t=17988

If you want as close as you can get to the original WR1 colour send me a PM with your contact details.

Cheers chaps - it was the light one I was thinking of and I think I will go for that. Its not for the PFF7's they remain original but I have some rota's and track tyres to go on them which are a burnt orange colour which I dont think suite the light blue of the WR1. Will put some pic's up when I get it one.
