Title: Colour alloys?
Post by: search on 29 April 2012, 22:30

Bringing my alloys back to life got some audi center caps that fit. gong to polish the lip but i'm stuck on what colour to go for on the inside of the alloys.
i want to stay away from black standard really.
then i thought maybe spray them the same colour as the car :-0 might look sh!t to be frank.

started to look in to gold then thought why not just do what everyone else is doing and go silver actually iv been though every colour on the chart. Id love a dark red but it wont suit the car if my car was black id go for a dark red.

pic of car and alloys in question what direction would you go?

Polished lip and body coloured centre would look good.

^The pale blue doesn't look half bad actually.

yeah the blue near the bottom looks pretty good. i wouldnt bother polishing the lop tbh as there isnt much of a lip and not sure it would look right. would look better just to paint them rims i recon.

bit off topic here, i love the way your indicators are, did you just use a paper template or something? :)

and i would go with colour coded alloys or go with orange.
