Tigz™ Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Well took my wheels off last night to give them a good refurb in time for the summer. So had to fit my 13" steelies for a while. Other than how low the car looks, and how cumfy the ride is again I fcuking hate it! I cant belive the diffrence a set of alloys make to the look of a car, which brings me to my question to you all.After ive repaired the curbing damage (this id like to point out is not caused by bad parking, this is down to hugging the inside AND out side line when racing a little too closely) I can either respray the wheels in the standard silver finish, or I can try a silver/blue flip paint ive seen.As my car is Metalic silver I thought a touch of colour would look well. So my question is this.Do I paint silver or flipped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssexLoop Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 i would have to go for silver, flipped paint on alloys ive never really took to well, but hey what do i know ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BReal Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 im thinking matt carbon grey would look pretty cool on silver, but ive never seen the flip colour on wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted February 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 WOW!They look fantastic dont they?Im not too sure on the matt finish though. I'll look into if you can get a mirror finish on dark wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
