Andy_s-TT-Supra Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Hi everyone, I'm due to take my my wheels in to be refurbished this week and wanted some opinions on colour choice. The car itself is stock and silver so most options should go with it well but I don't want to get something that looks tacky. Option 1) - diamond cut centres with a silver lip fading to anthracite behind there the bolts go and on the inside of the inner spokes. - chrome or silver bolts. Option 2) graphite or shadow chrome centre spokes with a silver or diamond cut lip and silver or chrome nuts. Option 3) - gold or bronze colour centre with a silver or diamond cut lip and either black or silver nuts - - - Updated - - - - - - Updated - - - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_s-TT-Supra Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Diamond cut is a really nice finish but then I'm thinking it might be a nicer finish against a coloured car or dark colour car as opposed to silver. What's people's thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uzzyuzzy Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 how much is this costing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_s-TT-Supra Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Quite expensive but they are being diamond cut inc the centre caps with new bolts all round and a graphite colour in between the spokes. Just over £500 all in but that includes stripping and putting the wheels back together and then swapping over the tyres onto the new rims when done as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudsey Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 The 3rd picture down looks really nice. Look forward to seeing the finished article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_s-TT-Supra Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Will hopefully get some pics up later this week. The cars also having a custom exhaust this week so got to decide on straight on exhaust or angled up and also what sound to go for! Lots to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Diamond cut centres and polished rims would look good or perhaps something a bit different, black on black with stainless bolts, like Dunk did with his wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 You made the right choice with diamond cut Dunks car looked amazing, but I don't think black wheels suit silver cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkddav3 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I used to have a set of these, ibrar did mine, had fully polished centres and lips , with the rear barrel in black. Looked awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_s-TT-Supra Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Two words with those pics - nursing one both cars look stunning. I have some diamond cut wheels on my golf which is factory orange and they stand out nice on that so hopefully they'll look just as good as in the pics above. I'm sure they didn't have any spigot rings on but the guy I got them from did say he had them on his supra without so hopefully it's all good or I'll have to get some. I've ordered the bolts for the outside - all 160 of them!!! Now trying to find some nice black ones for the centre caps but not sure what ones fit / suit - any help on that would be much appreciated!
