BenLAST Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Purple's been done. I think the red centres with white lips look best. Everything else is too in your face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphy Posted March 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 those wheels look sweet i say green how wide are they?If your refering to pics there not mine they are HAIRBears's i used for designing my wheels ! His are 13x8 all round. Mine are 13x7 and 13x8 Oh yeah i forgot to say what size tyres u got on wheels sam ? becoz my 8 at back has 175 and gives a alrite stretch but my 7 is 175 and dosent even look stretched might get 165 becoz they look stupid lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenLAST Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 165/55 won't stretch that much over the 7. On 13x7's you can't get stretch, cause theres no tyres for it. Aye, i will be notching my chassic soon to stop the drive shaft hitting. What do you want to know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenLAST Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 I have no stretch on my 7's. With either 175/50 or 165/55. You shouldn't need to get your chassis notched. Takes a lot to get it low enough to have it knocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenLAST Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 It looks better than in your face on a red car. I think you can only get away with silly colours on yellow and pea green Lupos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphy Posted March 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 FFS just heard from autowerks kwiksilver in surrey and they are saying this will be very expensive Where did people go to get theres done ? and what prices ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphy Posted March 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 more news said to be about 60 - 90 per wheel thats about 280 pounds ! but could be more and that isnt powdercoating. He said powdercoating is crap becoz it corrodes easy, one small chip and rust can build up over the wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenLAST Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 I pay cheaper prices, but the guy that does mine does them for £60 a wheel in a solid colour, fronts and back, and £90 for two colours. Think HAIRbear paid about £75 per wheel for two colours.Powdercoating is better after being in the oven IMO. Chips less easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
