wheel colour...
« on: 28 August 2008, 20:01 »
i have recently painted my wheels silver as the previous owner decided to paint them black.. to be honest it didnt look too bad but ii fancied something different..
now that i have painted them silver i find it looks too standard...
what do you guys suggest?.. heres a pic of how they look now...

crystal = chav

go OEM (which on my wings are a smoked)

or failing that just darkened ones, like boneybradley has on his

i was thinking of darkening the blue ones to blend in with the bodywork better....
if you catch my drift.. 
i dont want to chav the car up by any means at all.. just wanna make it look mean...  :evil:

I voted to leave them silver, I think the old 16v wheels are cool. Maybe just put some hubcentric spacers on.
