I was considering a colour change on my spares, I did find this design before and liked it but it was rubbished previously by others for quality issues

I liked the finish you showed us a while ago on your old ST wheels, but I suppose it isn't that much darker than the standard pescara finish  :undecided:

yeh, it can be made darker though , that said I would want a brilliant anthracite with a really glossy finish so they dont just look dirty

That sounds like a nice combo for a White ED30  :drool:

If you don't mine me asking what sort of price have you paid for the wheels being sprayed in the past (I thinking of a colour change for a set of BBS RA's on my MK2).

the last set was about £200 with tyres removed and new ones fitted, it depends a little on the colour and finish you choose too

something like this is what i want



or this (but a little darker)



this isnt to bad either
