Title: Colour coded steels
Post by: Si on 10 April 2006, 14:10

Im spraying my steels Gloss Black tonight, but am toying with the idea of having a silver lip or maybe even a red pinstripe on very edge of tip? what do you reckon? I want it subtle. Heres the Alloys at mo...

Or should i just keep the steels gloss black?
Also, the tyre size on my steels are 185 / 60 / 14... if i wanted lower profile tyres what can i get and how much? Or could i get narrower tyres i.e 155 / 60 / 14 and stretch them on?

The pinstripe will be very cool and retro.

I think it would look good. Different too.

My mate painted his steels black and had the clip on plastic outer rim in silver that looked pretty good.

Yeah, ive thought about doing that aswell, but they look obvious they are steels! I want designer steels! that look like they are sold like that?  :undecided:
