JamesG Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Does anyone have a picture of some black alloy wheels but with a polished lip? I'm thinking of attacking mine with some black spray paint! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chipmunk Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Not std alloys , but should help give you an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesG Posted September 18, 2005 Author Share Posted September 18, 2005 Cheers Chipmunk, that's just what I was after. I wonder if that would suit my wheels: http://www.compsoc.man.ac.uk/~jamesg/albums/supra/IMG_4705.sized.jpg and if so, would spraying them black be a DIY job, or something I should leave to the professionals?

chilli Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Shouldn't you be getting rid of those j-spec brakes firstly? lol I think you could get a professional finish yourself, so long as you took the time to prep them properly first, it's only paint after all! Rather than black, how about a metallic dark grey - a gun metal or anthracite type colour, might work well - just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would do but UK brakes won't fit under my wheels Might try an anthracite colour. Has to be matt I think. I like Monkey's wheels but not the gloss finish. By the way, the polished bit of my alloys was absolutely black and corroded and I assumed they were fit for the bin - but I had a go at them with a scourer and a tub of "barkeepers friend". After polishing with some Autosol, they've come up a million times better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Yeah I agree, matt probably would work better than gloss. I've seen matt anthracite 5 spokes before and they look ok It's amazing what you can do with some elbow grease. I thought my wheels were "blingy" but then I used some autosol on the dish part which was a bit duller than the spokes and it's come up like a mirror Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYmark Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 i liked the gloss finish they were very easy to clean a quick sponge with plenty of soap sudds. black with silver lips are good on silver cars. like the old porsche fuchs wheels.think thats what they were called Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 New wheels would suit, not blackened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
