jake supra Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Maybe a nice orange like the Porsche GT3 http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/attachments/f91/144645d1271132216-powder-coating-get-orange-wheels-c214748364819102008232651_1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 They look very nice as they are, and will be almost impossible to improve upon IMO. What about plain silver? All black would look very mean, but would obviously hide the wheels design somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry i've not got any links but you can pretty much coat anything you like with this process. Google WTP and it should give you an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 There are only three possible colours for car wheels - silver, black, or gunmetal. (Unless it's a black hotrod, then I'll let you have red steels. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 Nah i dont like that water transfer stuff, shoot me down but i was thinking Rosso Red:D not sure it would work though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 What about black centres with a polished lip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are best as they are but wont last winter like that, want a painted set for winter and polished set for summer, i may well just spray the other set a metalic silver.

Rob_Mitchell Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Are the spare set the same as in the pic? or need refurbing anyway? mirror polish them then clear coat? stunning how they are bright orange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 Are the spare set the same as in the pic? or need refurbing anyway? bright orange Exactly the same, infact the set on the car now are the other ones to that picture. one set has the hard dyno tyres/winter tyres, the other set has the sticky toyos, its the ones in the picture im thinking of spraying.

ripped_fear Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 i think with the styling of your car, and the fact you have tried to keep here looking oem ish, i would just paint them silver, gunmetal or black nothing to in your face or track look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
