chris aka fonz Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Okay all advice appreciated , my wheels are booked in for the 4th of september , costing me £520 for four split rims . Im having the rims polished but not laquered (lacquerd , lack urd ) and the centres painted . Im sold on having them gloss black but what do you guys think ? Just thought id ask before i go ahead , i no that i can always change the centre's if i dont like them as thats not the expensive part of the job. Cheers (ps not a photoshop wizard yet so forgive me ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 All black (satin black, not gloss black), too many black with polished rims around now IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colsoop Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Gloss is a bright shiney black where as satin is not. Gloss Matt / satin Your car is silver isn't it. Matt black would look good i think, get one of the phohtoshop gurus to help you decide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamer Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I would say go with gloss black as it would be easier to take care of then satin black as far as cleaning and such. You will be able to put a nice coat of polish/wax on the gloss whereas it might be a bit harder to do the same with a satin finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blitz supra Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Black. It's the new.....erm...black? I used to think black wheels looked total pants But the more you see around now .... they look really quite superb Some of the Supra i've seen look absolutley stunning As you say its the latest black, The in thing at the moment, but you need the right colour car And hey beats having to keep washing the wheels to get rid of brake dust ...

Jim_1979 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 I'm in two minds about all black wheels. Painted my old wheels black, but got bored and painted them silver again. I think black with polished rim is best as opposed to all black! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
