my new wheels
« on: 03 August 2012, 12:46 »
ok just manage to get myself a set of seat talido wheels for a very good price as i like the look of them and will be good to play with some paint designs. picking them up monday
want to no what people think i should do paint wise.
they are a bit like pepper pots but have fingery bits pointing inward betwenn the holes.

these are what they look like.
and this is something i did on photoshop with an idea for paint.
anybody got any other paint ideas?
was thinking of doing the other rims silver then gold and maybe the bit in the middle in my pic that isnt gold black
also loosing the seat badge
with centres or without?

Bronze could look good with the green.

The bronze looks pretty good to me with the silver rim  :smiley:

I'd go for it!

They are 6x15, a dark silver would be best against the green.

Polished lip, gold spokes and graphite grey centre.

Or just standard silver with dark grey centre

Yeah

I honestly think standard silver and dark silver (ford graphite grey) would look dope!
