Title: What colour for my wheels?
Post by: Horney on 22 April 2005, 13:35

Hi Folks,

I've got a set of TSW Blades (15") on my car at the moment and they are a pretty common (and pretty crap) set of rims. They have a few marks where they were stored face down on concrete but they only cost me £50 with the tyres.

I'm going to be stripping them down with nitromorse (SP), taking them back with some wet and dry to remove the scuffs and then re spraying them.

What colour do you reckon I should do them? A pic of them as they are now and fitted to the car is below to help you come up with ideas. I'm leaning towards a really dark gun metal grey.

So come on folks what do you think?

Nick

pollish the rims nice mirror finsh would be lovely.  :wink:

But I like the idea of grey, I don't think they should be black will stick out to much on a white car.
