You could always buy the caliper paint from halfords and remove the wheel and paint them yourself - its not to differcult and if you look in the technical section i am sure there is a step by step guide on how to remove them first etc

You could always try these guys, they are based in Swindon Simtek - I have used them in the past and they have proven to me excellent workmanship and good pricing.

Hope that helps.

Do it yer self, give yer self a few good hours and jobs a good one, SOD paying some grease monkiy to do a easy job as paint the calipeirs lol

[Bailey73]

It all depends on the finish - I found with caliper paint it will peel after a couple of months so personally I would pay for a job that will last.

since july i hate the wheels too hard to clean thay where on the scoob when i got them

[Bailey73]

I hate cleaning wheels but also hate seeing them dirty - its hard work keeping them clean but worth it in the long run.

I have only had my STi since Friday and have already cleaned the wheels 3 times.

wow you cleaned them 3 times all redy give you a tip to help you out sounds silly i know try clay bar in side the wheels then wax this will keep you wheels cleaner then nexe time you come to wash them you will see the difrents as the brake dust will come off with no probs

Thanks mate I will try that - As ED and SP will probably tell you my car is very rarely dirty and it is my pet hate having/cleaning dirty wheels.

I was only thinking tonight what can I put on the wheels that only mean I have to jet wash them off. lol

You could always get black wheels, and only look at them in the dark/ through sunglasses.

Works for me.
