Title: Really need some help in choosing what colour
Post by: Christian on 13 June 2009, 08:12:56

As you all know, the only thing letting my Mig down is the alloys with peeling laquer and genral poor finish due to age.

I was quoted 80 quid a wheel refurb to re cut the diamond edge.

Ive also been quoted 130 quid to have all 4 off then done one colour.

I was thinking all the same colour thats on the wheel beyond the diamond edge but i think its too dark

was also thinking silver?

What does gun metal look like?

Please help me decide becuase i want then done end of month as its the only thing letting the car down but i just cant decide.

Don't think you can beat silver, makes the wheels stand out, but that's just my opinion.

There was one colour i thought about, a person who came to collect some bits of me and a mate had a Holden GTS-R and it had like a gold colours wheel but i cant seem to find it anywhere.

black chrome (smoke chrome) is nice, shiny but dark. I would still get the rims and face macined bact the silver tho. Get them covered with clear powdercoat.

Those wheels are a VX classic, would be a shame to go too far away from the original.
