SupraStar 3000 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 It has always been my goal with this supra to buy a set of 19" Works Varianza wheels,… but to justify the cost right now with other commitments is difficult,… to say it mildly. As these wheels aren't a necessity at the moment and my current RacingHeart C4r's are in pretty good shame, Im thinking in the summer to get them refurbished and painted. I have this crazy overwhelming desire to have red wheels and nows the time to try this on my current wheels. (photoshop pics to illustrate idea) What i'm considering doing is painting the chrome lip (which after a few harsh winters will never go back to mirror chrome) and painting them white to match the car. The inside of the wheel (behind the spokes) to be painted black with the centre wheel cap and the spokes to be painted a bright red (maybe candy apple). Whats your opinion? Failing this, the plan will be to forget the red and go black with white lip. thanks for looking, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I can see your reasoning behind it Ed but trust me, it's better being left in your head along with those other thoughts. I took one look at the first pic and instantly thought faceman. All that's missing is a red interior and you could be a full on pimp.

SupraStar 3000 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Hum,.. i must admit whilst photoshoping that, I did have them theme tune to 'shaft' going around my head. Maybe you have a point! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purity14 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I did something crazy the other week on my White Supe.. I fitted Work VS-XX's with a gloss black centre with a red dished lip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purity14 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 the car is too dirty at the moment for pictures, id feel like a right tramp posting dirty pics - its sat outside right now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Do it. I like them. The ones you want look awesome in the pictures you've put up of them before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purity14 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Bad pictures on a bad camera and the car is dirty and the alloys are dirty from brake dust and from road salt. But when everything is clean, i think it looks nice - for now until i get bored again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 In work so can't see pics, but I'll check them later Ed, I remember the US supra with the red wheels you'd been aiming towards though and it's immense. I'd do it, at the end of the day if you don't like them, it shouldn't be too expensive to change the colour of the centres back to a different colour. It's good to experiment, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't but at least you'll have tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Make the whole wheel red Ed, just out of curiosity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have closed the thread after Scotts post and been satisfied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 You going into hairdressing? Not yet. Still doing the ladies step aerobics classes and dog grooming in the evenings (and i don't mean in a sexual way) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Oi, you just want to make me look a tit I succeeded years ago when I coerced you into asking about the boot release. But seriously, check it out, I think it would look better. The white/polished bit with that design doesn't look right IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't cost anything to photoshop, so why not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 just me but i think they would look great white, just a pig to keep clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastcar Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I would do either all black or black with the red trim. But I think all white would look good to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 this is the alternative idea. As normal but white instead of chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purity14 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I thought about that when i did mine dude, but the white starts being not-white very quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
