jim Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I've got new wheels, the fronts are on and the rears are going on tomorrow. I didn't think I was going to like them at all in their current state (black gloss centres with diamond cut lip) and was planning on spraying them all satin black (lips included) but have been pleasantly surprised at how they look as they sit. To put my mind at rest, I got a mate to do a few photoshops of various colours (they're ok but most are a bit metallic looking) keeping the lip polished but with different coloured centres. Any opinions? Any other ideas? I had been thinking a matt baby blue, but out of all of them I quite like the purple, but probably not more than the black to be honest. First pic is untouched with the fronts on, second is with the fronts pasted onto the rear, and the rest are variations. http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/7682/jim1n.jpg http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/330/jim3.jpg http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/934/jim5.jpg http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/3231/jim6h.jpg http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/3680/jim4.jpg http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/8753/jim2m.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BK1 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Love 'em as they are, but if they had to change I'd say a light gold colour. What wheels are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cossack Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 all black you pussy! lol only jokin, think anthracite with the silver lip or even satin black!! not a big fan of gloss wheels tbh mate, very nice wheel all the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 It's sinful painting the lips when they're so shiny lol, but the more I look at the pics in this thread the more the ones Nic posted are jumping out at me bud, pretty sure that's the way I'll go. Quite proud of myself for keeping pink out of the running lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen G Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 I would keep them the way the are mate if the lips are nice and shiny but if they become corroded then all black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradleyh_15 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Gun metal or anthracite centre with polished lip or go full on Mitchell and gold plate the centres lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Yep, i see them now Jim I'd say black with polished lip also, they suit the car nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 Rears on, spacers too. Bit disappointing as far as the stance goes, I've got h&r hubcentrics 20mm rear and 15mm front but could be doing with just a little touch more. Polished lips are growing on me tho.
