Default Gold or Anthracite ???

Thinking about getting some black alloys for me scoob

I already have a set of 17" Gold BK Racing 238's:



I was playin with photoshop earlier and tried to see what my scoob would look like with black wheels, anyway i came up with this in the meantime using my current alloys which i think look quite smart in anthracite. what do you think.



Any idea where i could get them done ? (either in the south or around nottingham) and how much it would cost.

chris

There are loads of places that would do it round here mate. My mate is works manager for a coating firm in Andover, will give him a buzz and see what he says when i remember for ya.
TSL subbed my work out to a company down the road, and to be fair they did a great job. You will see on sunday for yourself anyway....if its back from spec R.....should be getting it saturday morning, part finished i think.

I liked your old gold ones ..... Matt black, not gloss would look cool....

Gold's old hat, been done to death by the Scoob community and spilled into LaxBowel mob

Black looks like you've lost the trims off your manky steel wheels

Anthracite looks like you can't be @r53d to clean the brake dust off (like the grotty pewtery 03 wheels)

Bling bling nice shine bright silver is the way to go, IMHO anyway.
