Proper powder coated crinkle finish, is the stuff that Ferrari use on engine parts. its easy to clean, and you wont see the brake dust anyway! Lots of the Jap Drift cars also use this finish on the wheels

yeah, im thinking grey/anthracite now. its the only colour apart from black and silver that works well.

and TSR are a bunch of c*%$s to be fair, there only interested in you if your pockets are longer than a 60s porn stars thingy! i went into ask them about where the engine number is usually stamped and he reply "dunno goggle it" even tho he had about 4 engines on the work bench behind him. tospot!

Gavv8, give us a toot next time you go past. il try to acknowledge you.
I'm usually in a truck but i'll toot if i see you :smiley:

well, they have gone a shade of anthracite with a tint of purple......

rover amethyst grey. looks pretty cool. at night they look like black chrome, and in the sun they have a tint of purple/grey to them.
