Default New wheel colour?

Interested in your thoughts,

i know ive asked about the black etc but im really stumped as to what to do.

Which colour shall i paint my wheels? Dont have the cash to swap them for something else right now but i want a new look for 2009.

Can you guys help?

Gold at the moment

Gunmetal?

Black?

White?

Crazy pink? (just for fun before you get any silly ideas )

Silver?

Time attack?


Any other suggestions?

I have to agree with the others I personally find black wheels on a black car a little to much, but the red rim breaks it down nicely

Silver wheels - Yuk
White - nice but a bitch to keep looking that way unless you become **** like KevD

I'd say gunmetal, if you are going to be stickerless. Original gold if not.

Cheers for all the feedback guys, always nice to hear other opinions.

I like the TA theme but kinda feel like its been played out quite a bit now.

Also unsure if i did do it with gloss or satin finish if they go black.

Thought about that too Gaz, but dont think it would suit the speedlines in the same way it suits some Volk TE37s

I think I would stick with the gold personally.

I just asked a guy here at work and he reckons the black makes you like Knightrider! Yeah baby, That's what I said to you the other night!







.....the option of the steelies is still there mate! Still looking for some 18" ones for ya!
