Brian888 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Does anyone know if these are stock TTE wheels or have they been painted at some point? They have a sparkle effect in the sun. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 They've been painted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spunkmeyer Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 I think so too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian888 Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Thanks, considering having them painted as they really don't look well on a silver car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Get them done in black with diamond cut faces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian888 Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Yea that was what I had in mind although the local wheel painter is charging a fortune for diamond cut face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Gunmetal with bright silver faces will probably look nice on a silver car, and be much cheaper than diamond cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I think in stock form they are diamond cut with anthracite paint. They look great on a silver car done that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spunkmeyer Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Gunmetal with bright silver faces will probably look nice on a silver car, and be much cheaper than diamond cut +1 Also Diamond cut is prone to damage to the lacquer and the whole wheel is buggered then as it blisters underneath. I shifted mine on after doing 3 different wheels at £120 a pop over the 3yrs I used them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashloys Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 "Cobra Customs" do diamond cutting reasonably local to you dude. Could try and price them? I'd personally go for paint though. As others said it'll be a nightmare to maintain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian888 Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 Yea paint is much cheaper option! You staying on the road for winter Ash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashloys Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Yea paint is much cheaper option! You staying on the road for winter Ash? Yeh dude my car is on the road all year round, albeit I'll probably drive it far less over winter! It's barely been on the road over the last year getting manual swapped etc anyways. It's away getting my twin turbos replaced atm! New set of Enkei RPF1 wheels just arrived too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
