Title: Wheel colour
Post by: spunkymonkey on 01 October 2008, 00:49

I fancy doing something wacky to get the mac3 noticed. I was thinking of painting the wheels in a funky colour, something different. What do you guys think, any ideas? I have a colour in mind but would like some input of you guys?

The only problem is, would it be sacrilege since they are original porsche rims?

its red your car isn't it with Porsche rims? I think you can't really go wrong with black wheels on a red car, or black centres with a polished lip  :cool:

not yet, i live in hope!  :grin:

yeah all the time. A few of the bands/duo acts I know/watch gig around Leyland so I seem to be in Leyland quite a lot. Have been known to drink in The Queens, Rose and Crown (Farrington), Old Leyland Gates, Original Ship (near Tesco) plus a few others I can't remember off the top of my head.
