HAIRBear Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) alrightt all, i wanted to just get it done and then throw the pictures up but unfortunatly ive had to resort to a bit of a CL vote a few of you know the car but for those who dont its fresgo green. Ive just bought some mattig steels and am in a bit of a dilema to which colour to get them painted. the two options are: 1 - centres a matching green to the car with the dish white.2 - i dont know something involving RED! All red? - red centres white rim ...I only thought of red when i was walking back to my car and thought the colour looked good against the rear lights! Any opinions or more suggestions would be much appreciated.the wheels:the car: Edited September 10, 2009 by HAIRBear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little rich Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 Cream Dont think red would suit it too well tbf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAIRBear Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 well you can see the red against the green there - maybe too much on the wheels though? yeah ive always thought cream would work well with the green! hmm. might just look like a dirty white though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 (edited) Toyota avensis browncrap pic but the brown metallic would work well with the green of the car, maybe with a cream section too Edited August 19, 2009 by scotty_82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartagram Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 I think red would clash to much. Red can go well with green, just not that shade of green imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombuttigieg Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I think stick with all white. If there are too many colours going on doesn't look good IMO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignas Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 all white would look pimp. I might get some white or cream wheels for my black lupo when I got some spare cash lying arround Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty_82 Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 £280 quid to have 4 wheels powdercoated , god thats way over the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAIRBear Posted August 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 yeah tell me about it! but i wanted to get it done properly and i checked everywhere near me and they all came up with the same quote give or take a fiver. Because i wanted two colours on them they all threw another 20quid per wheel onto the price. I dont know much about paint work ect but i thought that was a bit steep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty_82 Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 £600 in the exact spec and colour choice would have been my limit when i guestimated.I thought you had originally paid more for the wheels for some reason, which would have took it in my opinion on the side of being to expensive and in the ball park of pretty dam good splits.Got to admit they look dam good though, resale might be a touch hard due to the colour choice of them matching your car though , but best to worry that much later B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im already over the fact that im going to lose money on they sooo Cheers for all the nice comments people!
