Marty Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I decided to refurbish my wheels, and get them painted in a different colour whilst it was being done. They were originally gold, which i think went well with the red supra, but i did prefer the red + black combo i had before i changed my wheels, so i decided to get them redone in black. I did ask for matt black, but they have come back more gloss than matt, i'm going to try them on the car and see what i think, if i don't like them he'll re do them matt for free. I did think about leaving the lip silver, but decided against it. What ye all think? Original colour... Now.. I'll slap them on the car tomorrow so i'll add some pictures of them on.

Branners Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 nice, quite similar to mine which Ibrar did, but I had the small rim polished so that when I kerb them (which I have) it doesnt show up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I like them. I think a polished/silver lip would have been better though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 All black is the new bling. I just use a black marker pen on mine John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-_-b Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 They do look cool do like a polished lip on dark rims though! Looking forward to seeing them on the car, wheels can look quite different when actually sat on a car! : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 Looks great Branners didn't think about the kerbing to be honest, but as Dnk says, that's what a black marker is for plus im a kerb dodger anyway so i should be ok I do like the polished lip too, but i'm pretty sure all black will look better, hope so anyway Will add on the car pics tomorrow sometime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 They look great. Can't help but think a polished lip would look better, but obviously that's just IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted August 19, 2011 Author Share Posted August 19, 2011 Its a strong look. I think so too They look great. Can't help but think a polished lip would look better, but obviously that's just IMO. Thanks mate. I prefer the complete black look personally, as it goes well with the red and black trim on the car too late now anyway as i'm not getting them redone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
