Well i've been thinking about a change of wheels for a while. Currently have the exaction split conversions which i do like but always thought the centres were a bit lost painted satin black. It was suggested at mitp that body colour may work but having put the spare on to sort a puncture, its made me think a little more.





I actually quite like the spare which i was have normally dismissed. Thoughts are though that the body colour may be a bit dark still although a gloss finish may reflect a bit more detail. However the silver works well.....

Any suggestions?

What is the roof colour Rob? Hard to make out with the glare.. actually looks like a bit of pink in it, which I'm sure its not.

I like them black.

Maybe photoshop silver, or roof colour

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

I found with silver centres, they blended into the outers and you didn't notice the wheels. The titanium coloured centre was a nice contrast to the outers and body colour in my case.

I'd say some sort of red, but with the tens the roof colour may get a bit lost, so perhaps something similar but slightly lighter?

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

I'm coming round to the same idea. At the end of the day, its a bit of time and some paint if i go that route

I dont think wheels should ever be anything but aluminium or silver, anything else just looks shit

I seriously doubt it!

As per FB, I reckon roof colour. In black all the detail is lost of the centres.
You could always do a pair just to see. If you hate them it's an easy job to wazz over in satin black to be back where you started!!

Another vote for roof colour. Would tie in quite nicely.

Certain cars and wheels i agree carry off plain aluminium finish, such as Paul's where the wheels are the least of the detail!

I have to say, the more i think about this one, the more I'm having mixed feelings about the colour options. Trying to get the shed sorted so i can crack on with some samples
