Thinking of changing the colour of my wheels but really not sure to what, was thinking of a nice dark grey with a bit of a shine, amybe a metalic colour, but i also like the idea of a metalic black but worried that black will take away from the detail of the wheel ...

What do people think ?

Rob.

Only side pic i have really also has clear side reps now.

I'd be tempted to leave it as it is mate, looks superbly clean. Plus everyone's doing dark wheels now.

Maybe do a thin red line around the lip of each rim?

Leave it Rob.

I had a look at the car at Trax and it looked spot on!

Mmm dunno about that, i dunno, im just a fan of dark wheels would be a bit silly to spray a perfect set of softstars but i might get to tempted and do it

Cheers Jonny - I just dont think it stands out much as it is.

I know there speedlines but you get the idea, i agree with what your saying Jake, but i just thought black or a nice dark grey might really suit it and make it stand out abit more.

No it wont, dark colours/black hide lines as Jake has said. That's why the spy shots of cars you see in development are always covered in black wrap.

It's far more eyecatching as it is, spend the money elsewhere. Smooth/colourcode scuttle and cc handles. Maybe even remove those completely?

Was thinking of some window's tints next, but that is probably a silly idea too now ...

I like that Pshop

dont wreck them doing them anthrashite or a tacky two tone

white would be different, white on red works

black imo, would look good, and black and red works

however-have you considered polished?

gloss black.

black wheels always look crap in pictures, they look spot on in real life imo.

cheers JonnyJ, LEAVE IT

(edit - NOT colour coding the handles will make it stand out more surely, seeing as EVERYBODY colour codes the handles??)
