Big Ian Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 been thinking about this all morning but i can't make up my mind? what colour should i get my wheel's powder coated? ive started to clean the lip but after some thought ive decided i'm not to fussed about keeping the polished lip now, i just want them clean and fresh looking but also (maybe) a little eye catching but not "TO IN YER FACE!" thinking along the line's of either: black gloss, Hi silver, gold or ?? what ever colour i'd also get some metal flake added any photo-shoppers feel free to try out your skill's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcAB10 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 if it was me, i'd go for gold spokes and a polished lip like Fraser (DAT inter) had before he changed them- Similar design to yours and i think it looks great on a silver car.

marc_p Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 If your spraying the originals then I think you should go for white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ian Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 thank's ellis for the "shopped" pic's tbh i don't realy want to change the wheel's (can't afford it at the mo) they are light-weight alloy's with not a mark on the rim's and are big enough to cover UK brakes, if i ever go down that route? i quite like the white which has now got me thinking .. well it got me thinking so much that ive just bought a proper alloy/metal polishing kit from ebay (which should save me some time) and i'm thinking of going either white or anthracite with the centre's? polish kit: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=270323755987 also bought spare polishing mop's and the spindle adapter to use the kit with a drill. Gold look's nice to but i think i'd get bored of the colour after a while .. folk i know would be saying "are they the wheel's from your old Scooby!" thank's guy's and if anyone has white wheel's with a polished lip on there silver supra feel free to post a pic or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I'd go with anthracite, with a silver (Not chromed or polished) rim. Personally, I think white would be a mistake on a silver car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ian Posted February 7, 2009 Author Share Posted February 7, 2009 , Personally, I think white would be a mistake on a silver car. yeah .. i searched the internet last night enough said! if it stay's dry today i'll quickly do 2 alloy's in anthracite to see how it look's, i'm might get carried away and try many colour's! it'll all get stripped of when they get dipped for powder coating anyway as for the lip i think ive finaly decided to re-polish them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
