The guy who did mine was of the opinion that there was no such thing as original, as they could come out looking different from the factory from one batch of cars to the next. Also, the fact that they were produced in 2 different places might have had an effect. I think for refurbs, it will depend as much on the materials and method used to do them as anything else.

As Mark knows I have two new Apex wheels still in their boxes. We checked them against the refurbs that I had done at different times from Wicked Wheels. Though one was better than the other they were a pretty good match.
Hi Martin, want your wheels back? I'll even give you back two the same colour

If they were different there is more chance of one of them being the right colour.
They're much closer to your new ones thatn the darker of the two you loaned me (which I'm using as my spare). See what you think...

I'm tempted to go either silver or a gray colour the next time i get mine done, unfortunately the original finish doesn't stay that colour for long with the brake dust, any one fancy getting theres chromed?
