Big Mark Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Treated myself to some new wheels from here; http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?311914-18-quot-work-meister-s2r-wheels-and-tyres-for-sale They're going off to Ibrar to be refurbed on Monday so need to decide on a colour that would suit my silver car. I'm leaning toward a smokey chrome colour that I have on my TTE's Also, I'm going to remove my RMR front lip and cut the ears off. But I can't decide whether to keep it silver or strip the paint off so it's back to black? If I was stock bodied I'd go black but with the skirts and trial rear I'm not so sure. So what do people reckon for the wheels and lip? Car currently looks like this: Edited August 14, 2014 by Big Mark (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Due to the skirts, I'd keep it silver. Like you say, if you had stock pods then black would be better - I had the same lip (painted) on a white Supra with no skirts and it looked odd. (It is RMM (Rod Millen Motorsport) by the way ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 Ah, thought it was Rod Millen Racing, I'll tweak it. (How do you edit a title?) I think you could be right about staying silver. Need a photoshopper to come up with some images really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mark Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Sorted thanks. I'll try to remember for the future Edited August 15, 2014 by Big Mark (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Agree with James on the lip, stay silver with those skirts. I also think those wheels look stunning in the last two pics (on the black aerotop), highly polished lips/dishes and silver or gunmetal centres would look amazing.

Yeah I'm pretty sure i'll keeping the lip silver, tho the bumper and lip need a respray anyway. I'm not sure about going down the polished lips route though I agree that they do look stunning in the last 2 pics, it was those that made me buy them. Do polished lips require more maintenance than if there were powder coated? Hopefully Ibrar will be around and have some ideas on Monday when I drop them off for the refurb.
