What colour you thinking?

 

[wozza182]

Black, anthracite and silver.
Any other colour looks awful on the standard alloys.

I did mine in black few weeks back. Was tempory till i can get some rotas, however i kinda like them. Doing the centre caps this weekend i hope

i was thinking having them black with geen diamonds in the middle for a black and geen colour coding?

black ftw

^ thats pretty much how i want except the diamonds green, looking at it now i think im going to do it

 

[Jekyll]

thats my man!! i had mine sprayed black gold to be slightly different and the silver nut inserts break i up a little. green diamonds would look good if your going for a green and green theme

 

[Webby.]

yh i am going for a green theme, ive got my diamonds sprayed looking to buy some bullets atm then the alloys, i want new on es of each to i can put them all on togethe so it doesnt look in pieces as i add another part on

sounds good mate, keep us posted. the only downfall with having black wheels is you have to keep on top with the tyre shine.

 

[Webby.]

will do, shouldn't be too long now before it all come together, and i know they take the piss to keep nice and shiny

 

[:( clios]

Yeah i aint bothered yet as im still playing with the look of the car but tyre shine is on my list.

like the bolts being kept silver will do that i thinks, nice one

Anyone else paint their own ?? also i think matte is nicer to look at and easier to do but does attract the break dust

I taped my dynamique alloys up last winter for a buzz in 3M detailing tape looked sweet.

Easiest way is to let all of the air out the tyre then put plastic bags around the rim, sand down (worst part) and you can rattle can the rest of it. Just don't get impatient and put them on early. Leave the laquer to settle.
