What colour shall I refurb my wheels? (scoobynet to pick)
 
I have my wheels booked in for a refurb on Monday.

Still not sure what colour to go with. My car is a white hawkeye, my wheels are Inovite RD21 wheels in gold. I want something different

Think we should do a vote for the colour for my wheels to be refurbed in! I will go with the winning colour!

This is the car atm

Looks fine to me, anthracite also would look good.
Dont go full sioc retard and paint them green or pink "cause it's individjewal innit Bruv"

acemodder 26 September 2015 07:10 PM

I'm secretly hoping gun metal wins. Was thinking white, but not so sure now.

One question though, any idea how and where I can get some nice new wheel nuts, mine are all rusty?

Completely agree. Brightly coloured wheels look s**t, unless you're an 18 year old 'Scoob' owner Bruv.

Go for anthracite.

Go for anthracite.

I suspect he is a sensible owner.
The car looks a nice clean un sioc example

Ignore my vote. ;)

Gun metal and anthracite are different colours, personally I wouldn't go with gun metal, as it's much too dark a colour. Your wheels will be lost in the wheel arches.

MattyB1983 26 September 2015 08:01 PM

A nice dark gun metal colour gets my vote. Will look superb on a white hawk.

silver-sub 26 September 2015 09:03 PM

Gotta be the gold again.

Dirk Diggler 75 26 September 2015 09:34 PM

Gun metal for me .......

If the car is white then have to be black with a black roof and blacked out windows
That looks the nuts like that ;););)

It was a toss up between silver or white, silver wasn't listed so white it is :)

Jazzy Jefferson 27 September 2015 12:43 AM

Bronze.

I did mine a custom metallic gray, really makes the wheels stand out in the sunlight. Hard to capture in a photo.
I found the whole gunmetal or gloss black thing has been done to death..

kevo10 27 September 2015 09:21 AM

anthracite or gunmetal grey

Moley 27 September 2015 09:32 AM

Personally I'd go with an option not on your list..... Bronze

The only way that old heap could destroy a 2004 STI Is if it had a head on collision with one :lol1:

:lol1:, to be fair the black mirrors are probably worth another 100 ft lb.
As for the wheel colour i'd go for anthracite.:thumb:

acemodder 27 September 2015 10:59 PM

looks like gun metal won! Tomorrow is gun-metal wheel day!

salsa-king 28 September 2015 07:15 AM

these for normal use..https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3924/...b803d5c471.jpg



green also looks good on white.http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e6...odedit0003.jpg

Trinity 28 September 2015 11:59 AM

Id go Bronze.

Gold is nicer that the rest, but a real Bronze colour would look the balls.
