cheekymonkey Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 OK I hated doing it but I refurbished my AVS Model 5s as they were getting quite tatty. Went for a new look - gloss black all over, then silvered the spokes. I really love the look but I realise it won't be to everyone's taste!

Ian W Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I think I like them. Good job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I'm not sure... it makes the wheels look mega-small, but it's certainly distinctive. It's the opposite of my wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekymonkey Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 To be honest the wheels look much better up close and personal, not too good on the photos. Nearly wen gunmetal but fortunately stopped myself in time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Never seen wheels like that before so I'm not sure, sometimes I look & the tyres seem to disappear, but sometimes I look & it's looks like a distinctive & unique look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekymonkey Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 Slightly better picture... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Is it me or is the end of the spokes / rim not distinctively one colour or t'other? Looks a bit 'messy' in that last picture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekymonkey Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 Correct, it's a freehand applied effect. Trust me it looks better in the flesh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I think they look great, but maybe some bigger tyres would fill the arches a bit more bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I think they look great, but maybe some bigger tyres would fill the arches a bit more bud. And probably increase the rolling radius over standard I'd imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Ah, I thought that maybe they were low profile's, maybe it's the black lip on the rims that's making them look smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Are they Model 5s? Look totally different! Im not convinced sorry, with a bronze coloured finish they look the dogs danglies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supragaz Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Sorry, no likey. But like you said it is all about your own personal taste. Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
