Title: Longbeach wheel colours!!?!?
Post by: seismic22 on 12 May 2009, 12:58

Hi there,
 
managed to steal a set of longbeach wheels of ebay for just a tenner in really great condition! I already have a set on the valver but theyre pretty scabby, lota blistering and the bloke who owned it before me was obviously very fond of kerbs.

Question is, has anybody sprayed their longbeach wheels different colours? anyone got any pictures of them sprayed in, grey, black and white? What do people think!?

In some certain artificial lighting conditions at night when clean, my standard coloured wheels look nearly white and they dont look that bad.

Im not really into making the car look really really mint and always uber clean, id rather it looked like a stealthy weapon than a show piece if ya get what i mean! Im just about to spray the front and back badges black at the moment and the car is a metallic burgandy colour, code lc3l.

Cheers guys

If you ask nicely I'm sure someone would photoshop them for you on your car?

Steer clear of white wheels, they are a nightmare to keep clean.
