[Weeman]

Right section FTFW!

 

[beechey]

ftfw whats that mean

 

[chrispy.clio]

I think there was a RB with white 182 wheels on pistonheads

 

[beechey]

ill have a look, rb paint work is matt, so i was thinkin of spraying the alloys matt white

 

[Englebert]

Don't do it!

 

[jack_davey]

well if your RB is matt then it is in need of a good polish mate, I would go for gloss white on the wheels if I had to have them white, given the choice I wouldnt go for white as it doesnt really look right.

 

[VeinAST]

There was a blue MK1 that looked immense on white 182 alloys, I think it'll look good!!

Definitely need to give your car a damn good clean + polish though haha

 

[Tav]

White 182 wheels, that is going to look awful!

 

[Gally]

Lol at Tav but you are right it'll look s**t.

 

[koi]

don't do it!! the spokes on the 182 alloys are too chunky and will look crap in solid white

 

[Christophe]

i wouldnt. if you do want them spraying do gloss black with diamonds in silver and make sure tyre gel is applied all the time.

gloss white and slam it on its fuckin titties. it could look pretty good.

get a pic up amd someone get photoshopping

 

[Bjorn]

It looks hideous, dont do it.

 

[Rb182]

if your going to go for white, go for gloss white, but as others have said I think the 182 wheels are too chunky to pull off white, plus they'll constantly be dirty as white wheels always are and you'll be forever cleaning them.

 

[st3ve]

Gloss, don't think I've ever seen a RB with white 182 wheels.

 

[beechey]

ive got 2 sets of 182 alloys but dont like the silver ones, so was thinkin white with white door wing mirror covers, photoshop would be good

 

[beechey]

when i say matt i mean like its not mettalic

 

[Android]

but its not matt lol

 

[Lee-182]

RB and White 182 wheels whould look awesome. Its actually making me twinge a little

 

[beechey]

done the mirrors but carnt do the wheels

ive got a spare set of wing mirror caps to

 

[Lee-182]

mirrors no

Wheels Yes

 

[rory182]

Can I just ask, did you use the eraser to photoshop the mirrors white - by deleting them? lol looks like my paint skills TBH

If you're getting white wheels, gordini stripes would be a must on a racing blue IMO

 

[Jonny1*2]

was thinking about the white mirrors myself, but was unsure about how it might look. no body done it before?

 

[Jimbo-Clio]

some one has done white 182 wheels before. calling all forum hermits please post it up. the RB 182 on black wheels and diamonds looks good

 

[alex-avfc]

Do it...why not? No-one can gaurantee it'll look pap cos no-one has seen it before

 

[brucey_182]

I've just done my 182 wheels gloss black and still with chrome diamonds. When I had the primer on the wheels looked awesome in matt, that was until the tyres had the usual coat of dressing on - then it was shiny tyres and matt alloys which was a bit sh!t imo.

 

[iimushroomzii]

Dear mother of god, those mirrors look s**t!

 

[beechey]

wheels and mirrors are all prepaired and ready to be painted, thinkin about gloss now lol

 

[beechey]

Can I just ask, did you use the eraser to photoshop the mirrors white - by deleting them? lol looks like my paint skills TBH

If you're getting white wheels, gordini stripes would be a must on a racing blue IMO

[Jordi17]

id do the diamond white as welll imo to keep up the blue and white theme

 

[beechey]

was thinkin that lol got a spare diamond to haha

 

[Christophe]

gloss black with silver diamonds

 

[Charlie.]

Do it...why not? No-one can gaurantee it'll look pap cos no-one has seen it before

I've seen a blue 182 with white wheels, someone at my work wanted to do it to his but bottled it after we saw that one, i think it looked guff, spokes far too chunky, jrdas done a photoshop of them i believe

 

[beechey]

black looks nice to,
my need a third set of alloys haha
can any one do the photoshop for me

 

[Gally]

You've seen this and still want to go white :S

 

[Dan R]

You've seen this and still want to go white :S

I love that. Looks spot on. I cant stand the original wheels but for me that works well

 

[rory182]

black looks terrible IMO

 

[r_dizzel*]
