Title: Wheel suggestions
Post by: dom on 09 June 2013, 22:25

Following an incident with a kerb earlier my CH's are in need of a refurb :rolleyes:

I need colour suggestions, they are currently silver:

I don't want to have anything too lairy and a part of me thinks that I should stick with silver but other suggestions will be considered.

Do your best....

Gun metal grey or gloss black. Either way it will still look nice :smiley:

Don't really want to go down the black route, gunmetal is a colour I am considering. Just knocked up a couple of photoshops:

Either 1 or 2 would get my vote.

I think option 2 would look awesome! But... It will make you more noticeable.

1 looks really good. 2 would pull off well

I like number 3. If I had a colour that could pull off purple I would!

Aeromax aerocoat?

Red gets my vote, really works against the black :afro:

Title: Re: Wheel suggestions

I'm thinking a candy red colour, it would have to be quite dark though I don't really want a bright red. I guess it all comes down to the colours that the powder coaters have.

Cheers for the input guys, keep it coming :afro:

I've seen a set of CH's with an aeromax finish and wasn't too keen, plus I've not read great things about the quality of their work recently :undecided:
