Finished painting these yesterday,laquered them 2day so just went and picked them up.Kinda immpressed if i do say so myself.
Not sure on what look 2 go for tho.Thinking either centre caps on,end of.Or leave them off,leave the plastic nut covers black,or colour code them.Think i will try the latter 1st and if i dont like then i will stick the covers on.Im thinking tho,if i leave the caps off,it may look like speedlines with the covers off and thats a big no-no.
Anyway heres a cpl snaps.




They were done in Vauxhall Glacier White and are super bright.

Well, don't really have choice unless I want to buy another 4 tyres.

Although if I do, I'll have two full sets, including a spare

I didnt take any chances and bought 2x500ml grey primer,3x300ml VG White and 2x500ml clear laquer.And i still had loads o primer and laquer left after 2 coats.Cost me £44 from halfords but i dare say u could get it cheaper from other places.Halfords paint is quite dear.

I'm looking at about £30, as I get trade at Halfords

You can just spray the bearing caps black if you want, I was tempted to do it with my current wheels.

Personally though, I'd do them white I think.

Looks good! But you need lower profile tyres mate. Way too much rubber, imo!
