Title: To paint or not to paint, that is the question.
Post by: Horney on 24 October 2008, 10:13: So my wheels are a bit battered and could do with a new lease of life. I would dearly love a new set more suited to the Rado but I can't afford any at the moment. Some rattle cans and a day with the masking tape I can stretch to.

So from this:

To this:

Centers would be satin black and the red gloss.

What you guys think? I'm undecided.

Post by: Karloss on 23 November 2008, 22:31: Personal Opinion, its not my cup of tea, maybe a different set of already black rims?

But i like what uve got, what are they?

What it comes down to is what you go with, none of us will have much influence
