it's just a small company called Washford Finishings, but they do a lot of wheels and have plenty of colours to choose from....this anthracite has an almost metallic finish so looks great in the sun.
they are powdercoated though.
I don't have a contact number for them, and i'm not sure you could send your wheels to them by post, but i'd be more than happy to help anyone out.

The wet spray method is far better, and will handle brake fluid brake cleaner and brake dust without dulling or staining..
Only my opinion i may just have a shit powder coater

Most of the lads from the Black Country RSOC use Bournes Powder coating in birmingham (bissell street). They only charge £20.00 per wheel for whatever colour you like.
Obviously they dont do the tyres but they are spot on. Ive had loads done, infact ive got to pick up a set tomorrow for the track shitter.
Just out of interest, when i worked at Skoda, they did a set of 17" Octavia Vrs alloys in gunmetal grey and they looked the bollox on a yellow car. Like an early volvo t5R !!!
