Wheel Refurb - What colour?

mk1_salami · 10 Jul 2009 at 16:33

Hi guys,

I think I'm going to get my wheels refurbed - probably powder coated. What colour do you think I should get them done? At the moment they're a grey colour with a polished lip. Only it doesn't look very polished at the moment.

I had thought about:

Gunmetal grey with polished lip
Gunmetal grey with red rimtape
Silver
Black with polished lip
Black with Red rim tape??

Here is a pic from today:

Ooh get you with your turbo'd MX-5. Go away. :mad:

Silver <3

Polished rim won't stay looking good for long...

I vote gloss black with red rim tape, a friend has that on his 200sx and it looks great on a red car.

This.

Red with gloss black wheels gives me chubs. Trying to resist getting hold of some TE37's and getting them blacked up for myself.

Not an MX5, but gloss black on red...

Black. Polished lip would be more win, but as said, just won't last.

Overplayed but suits the red:

Er ok.

I need to refine my statement about red & black to exclude Peugots.

(edit; whoops, sorry if thats your car...but each to their own eh

)

These two have the biggest win factor. I really like both of them.

I'm swaying towards the black with red.

Sin_Chase · 10 Jul 2009 at 19:26

Black with red for sure.

Black... either gloss or satin.

HeeroUk · 10 Jul 2009 at 23:06

Gloss black on that pug looks really good

matt100 · 11 Jul 2009 at 09:38

gloss white!

HeeroUk · 11 Jul 2009 at 11:00

White wheels are nice on a red car , but look like a PITA to keep clean

Yeah I quite like it too.

Personally on the MX-5 I think I'd go silver, but I'm a bit of a purist though.....
