Alloy colour change and refurbish

[DannyJ172]

So thinking I'm going to refubish alloys and thought maybe do a colour change while I'm at it . Used my spare wheel to play about with before going to town on them all. What's your thoughts on them ?

Tough one. Mmm what suspension is it on?

Standard- silver
Lowz- other

Have to agree with that to be fair

Standard suspension want to get some lowing springs after sorting out the wheels .

Also the silver pic was from internet not mine , raining so could get a good pic.

Standard looks fresh and clean

Standard !! You want the wheels to look as big as possible and a bright silver will do that , the darker silver would make the wheels look smaller

Coilovers low the darker colour imo.

Springs silver

I've got black wheels on mine and it looks as if there is no wheels on it from a distance. I went black as it was cheaper and easier to keep clean.
Agree with the silver wheels on standard ride height. If lowering it go different....green....red....I went orange for a while. Although dark silver like in your picture is probably best.

From experience make sure you get lots of paint on the wheels and between the spokes. When I sprayed mine I didn't get a thick enough coat and only found out once the brake dust started to eat it away.

Also use some form of protector on them before you use the wheels. I didn't make that mistake with my new wheels! Can't remember the exact name but if you check my progress thread there is details of the quartz coating I used. This has helped loads
