suprasam77 Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Hi guys an gals. I'm currently painting my Work equip wheels. They are dark grey with chrome lips, but the chrome is bad and I fancy a change. I'm doing the lips in gloss White, but am unsure what colour to do the centres. I'm thinking either darkish grey again, or maybe some sort of calsonic blue. But not sure if that will go with a white car. Any suggestions will be considered as I'm confused. Anyway here are the pics. Ignore the muppet in this one, he's my boss! Lol. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsween Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 As much as i wanted to hate this when i read the first post this is gonna look epicly good. Kinda like the whitewall tyres. I can imagine some ye-oldie photos when this is done being fantastic And leave the centres satin black or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I was thinking more of a gunmetal, black or polished look for the centre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I would get them powder coated, a very bright blue like this would look superb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprasam77 Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 Yeah as much as that blue would look sick, I just don't think there's enough blue on the car to justify it. I think gun metal grey is the way forward! Will defo get pics up as soon as I'm done. May take awhile. Prep on the first wheel has taken a week on lunch breaks. Had to fill and sand the lips down massively to get a nice smooth finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suprasam77 Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 If I could find the correct bolts for the wheel in anodised blue, they would look A-mazing!!! But chrome will have to do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suprasam77 Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 UPDATE! I'm going for red bull blue for the centres! Kind of like a anodised looking blue!! I thought at the end of the day, I love drifting, I would like to be different and I think it might look cool with some other blue touches! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evinX Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Should have done a red lip and white centres, if you must do the white lip, theres no other options but white or black for it to look good. GIVE ME THOSE RIMS, I WANT THEM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suprasam77 Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 Well I had to do a coloured rim as the chrome had faded and some rims had scuffs and small dents. So I sorted those out! White seemed a good option and looks tight. I'm going for the drift look so black rims are too plain and boring. Plus the wheels have been gunmetal for 2 years. So I thought I'd try blue and it looks nice so far. Going for blue or orange rim tape on the white! They are lovely and rare rims, so Make me an offer on the wheels!?
