Looks like your wheels have a serious case of lacquer peel. You could have them refurbished but make sure you choose a reputable company. The 2 listed below get very good reviews and they both do a choice of colours & finishes;

Arosa wheels will fit, but I'm not sure they suit the Lupo. Arosa Mk2 Phase2 Sport wheels are nice if you can get them.

I say refurb yours if you want to stay oem.

Circa £250 for a set of refurbished alloys is pretty good I think. You would surely pay that for mint 2nd hand wheels?

Does that include stripping the wheel back to bare metal first? I'd like the details of which place that is if so as that is less than half the price I was quoted to have 1 of my 19 inch wheels refurbed.

£40 is the price I've been quoted too mate. And yeah it's blasted and powdercoated. Mines were fifteens and i said i would give them the barrel on their own so they wouldn't have the hassle of tyres. I imagine the size and tyres thing would make a difference but it wouldn't be huge. Sounds like a proper cop out but i can't remember the name of the place! I'll try remember.
