Alloy refurb Opinions - Photoshop request

Mine's a fact

That is the worst business website in the world.

Completely flash? I have to say that from the grainy, badly resized by flash pictures, I can't tell what has a nice finish and what doesn't, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say that they are all awful, bar the standard silver.

Easyrider: For alloy wheel refurbishment Top Marques are superb, & their work is excellent.

A pink rim and light blue finish would look awesome.

Black alloys only work on black cars imo

I did it on mine...

I think it works on this because I have a black roof and loads of black trim around the bottom of the car - not sure I'd put them on a silver car, photoshop thread?!

I'll get a picture of my neighbours Mini Cooper S later on today if I can, it's in Midnight Black with black alloys and it looks the dogs ********.

Again, echoing what MooMoo said, it only works on black cars.

Perhaps if you had posted a photo where the contrast levels weren't blown out of all propertion, we'd actually be able to see the colours properly and make a decision

The website is indeed ****.But the business is not. Word of mouth and reputation is the key.They have a good rep.

But its not surprising as every time you post you are negative and a PITA

doesn't matter what the threads is about.

Who cares about the website lol really....

paradigm · 5 Apr 2013 at 11:17

You asked us to tell you if a certain colour looked ok, seeing as the picture is utterly garbage quality, it's impossible to say. Therefore exclaiming that the quality of the website itself is terrible is a perfectly valid response.

I also said to go with standard silver.

Yeah not doing it for me on that mini. Having said that your car still looks cool :cool:

the_r_sole · 5 Apr 2013 at 11:42

the wheels that were on it before were a lot worse!
and if you don't think the black wheels work on a car that has a lot of black on the body, do you really think it'll work on one that is almost entirely silver?

grimm · 5 Apr 2013 at 11:50

I like black wheels on some cars. I don't think it'd look good at all though on a silver car.

Dunno....The car is bigger I saw a BMW on the motorway yesterday and it looked quite cool.

Silver looks so so much more classy than black on an E46 Saloon. Hate to say it, but for me black wheels on an E46 is a sign that it's best days are over

paradigm · 5 Apr 2013 at 12:38

Here's the photoshop you want.

It's the kind of look I'd expect from an eBay advert for a dubious E46, on a 7th owner car.

Much like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/bmw-330d-se-/171019134843?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item27d188e77b or http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2001-BMW-...7158429?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item417219a89d or http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2002-BMW-...2471087?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3f2323892f

Yep black wheels look terrible on any car imo (including the ones posted here unfortunately, thats no reflection on the cars themselves though) - some can pull off a grey of some sort but generally speaking silver looks much better than anything else.
