Anyone changed the MK2 172 wheel colour

[Brum Man]

Hello.

I am having my MKII 172 wheels refurbed next month and am thinking about the possibility of changing the colour (although I will probably keep them the same).

I was just wondering if anyone had changed the colour of theirs and if they have could the post some pics?

Cheers.

Here is a pic of the same car as mine (nicked off someone in another forum).

If no-one has changed the colour of their wheels, could someone photoshop the wheels Black and Anthracite in two differece pics please?!

[Brum Man]

Ah, ok then, didnt realise.

^^Thats good enough lol.

16vclio has anthracite 172 wheels but not as dark as that.

I like it.

Mine are slightly darker than the standard alloys, titanium I think the bloke said, they are nice and subtle with the iceburg silver car, however the anthracite looks fantastic on all colours and are fashionable at the moment.

 

[Brum Man]

Mmmmm......it is getting very tempting.

I just need soem bigger pics though, just so I can get a proper look.

I think I rem seeing somewhere that Alans are Titanium and not Anthracite, but perhaps Im wrong.

 

[Alan]

PMd and emailed mate and yeah they are Titanium which is basically the same jus a little darker than anthracite.

just look like dirty wheels to me lol..

 

[Ali]

Nah, they look mint! Pics dont do them justice.

 

[KDF]

Yep, they look superb in real life.. they just dont photo well

This is a ps of mine with coloured wheels that I did a while ago. I might actually get round to doing it once Ive got the new suspension on.

^^^they look good. Just been getting the opinions from people on another forum and off a few people I keep getting the "they just look like dirty wheels" remark.

But what do they know, they drive mondeos etc!

 

[Rick]

^^ In the flesh, the effect is much better IMO. Its easy to look at a picture and say they look like drity wheels but when you actually see them, they look like theyre supposed to be like that!

 

[Brum Man]

Yeh I know, I think Im going to go to a renault dealer soon anyway so might see if they have a 182 with this colour wheels on, or see if I can go on the hunt for one. But at this point I think it is getting done. Only prob with this car though is that the spare is a prper Allot too so Ive got to get that done (well havent GOT to to I will to make a proper job of it)

I take it its easy to change the colour of the center cap too even though its not metal?

 

[Rick]

I believe they mix up some paint the same colour as the powder coat and spray the centre cap.
