James Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I'm fed up of the condition of my wheels letting my car down (more-so than the rest of the car!). They weren't in the best of nick when I got the car (July 2009) (lots of lacquer peel, an indentation on one, kerb rash on all) so I sanded them back and a bit and sprayed them black. I got bored of that pretty quickly as I thought it looked quite cheap. Sanded back again and sprayed 040 white to match my paintwork. They look 'OK' but I've never been too happy with them just due to their - aforementioned - overall condition. Long story short, I'm going to get them properly refurbished so that they are in as new condition. I'm back and forth as to what finish to opt for though and was looking for some opinions I'll link up pictures of the original silver, the black and now current white finishes. I'd have considered something silly (Kawasaki Green for sure) a while back, but I fancy something looking a bit nicer and less comical The body of the car isn't quite finished so the pictures I'll be showing don't represent how it will be ending up. I've got an HKS Kansai carbon front lip, Shine rear carbon diffuser and Top Secret sideskirts still to go on. Anyway, here are the pictures: https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/304189_284344564924201_954163002_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/263395_508864013673_1941543_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/205887_516470789633_976515683_n.jpg Opinions (and photoshops if you are able!) welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I like White on a White Supra, but a Pain to keep clean Other than that Black Chrome, I think the black has to be shiney on a White car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

listy Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Out of those 3 I think the white looks best mate. Without a polished dish, black wheels just disappear on a white car, and the silver/gunmetal for. Some reason, just doesn't look right to me.

d-_-b Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 White looks good, for some reason dont like the black, bronze may look cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPG Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Bet that supra is handy when the snow falls , skirts going on soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Any decent pics of bronze wheels on a white car (preferably a Supra!)? Of the 3 I've had, I definitely have liked the white the most! I don't know if I'm still considering the silver just because I want CCW Classics and they'd be silver so it'd get me used to it haha! Indecisive is my most hated word! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Got pics of examples Rob? After how my wheels looked in black before I'm unsure of going dark with them again! Though done properly it may be a different story! I guess also having the diffuser and carbon front lip on it may work better too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Some looking on the US Supra forum has shown me a few different finishes. I'll add them into this thread as well - I am struggling to decide! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I still vote bronze! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Candy Blue or red would work with polished lip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 - - - Updated - - - Candy Blue or red would work with polished lip The brakes are staying lime green behind the wheels, I don't want to look like a Christmas tree with the red and I don't think the blue would work against it!

Dnk Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Lime green centers then with polished lip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Lime green centers then with polished lip Any good with photoshop? I am hesitant on an 'out-there' colour because I don't want it to look cheap. I also can't help but think that it'd be too much to have the calipers and wheels both green?!
