Question

cheers lads..
wheels will be back on wednesday night.

Gloss black is the order of the day.. with plenty of lacquer so the brake dust drops off.
I'm trying to continue the stealth effect..
I have a low level spoiler too

with the power of photoshop and czech beer.. I give you:

little too dark perhaps..
or this:




Thoughts?

The photoshop'd wheels above might look a bit dark.. only a mock up after all..

Nooooooooo!!!

You need a brighter colour to contrast the body. I've had the same dilemma, had silver which matched the repeaters OK but was a bugger to keep clean - so now gone for something slightly darker...

They've been painted already.

I'm going to have the OZ racing lettering done in white- almost indentical to peccy's RA wheels.

Cool

right:


worked out quite cheap compared to mainstream refurb compaines *BUT* if there is evr a next time I will take it to a dedicated bodyshop..

The finish on the inside and inner edges isnt great
the lettering isnt perfect
but it looks alright from a distance and thats the main thing

hehe..
it IS lowered by 30mm (Eiabchs) but I have MRT top mounts which then raise it back up by about 15mm...
BUT I gain a shedload of castor which is FUN (handles like a beast)

This is the first remotely 'bling' mod I have had done.. (the wheels that is)..
