Irn Bru Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Looking to get my wheels refurbished in the spring but fancy a change from the black......but struggling for ideas on new colour, this is my Zed as she is just now. Was thinking of going a deep bronze with a fleck through it, any ideas for me guys ? PS: pic nicked from hensh65's build thread hope that's ok Mods ? Quote
Mikevv Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 I see why you're nicknamed Irn Bru I think bronze would clash too much the sunset personally, but might also compliment it. Bit of a risk!! Find a few colours you like, get some forum photoshop guru's to play with them and then toss a coin? 1 Quote
LRF4N Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 I think gunmetal or anthracite would work better than bronze- agree it would clash with sunset Won't clash as much as the red does lol please tell me your losing the red? Quote
Jetpilot Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Whilst I am most definitely in favour of colours, but I dont think anything works as well on a sunset as plain old silver. Unless you want to go wild of course. Edited January 28, 2016 by Jetpilot Quote
Payco Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Gunmetal or silver for the win is my vote. Gold would look lost and clash. Rims can make or break a car. Suggest you ask for some photoshop examples on here. Quote

jimmy.farrow7 Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) I was thinking of getting my Rota's refurbed in bronze and the choose against it, got a set of anthracite rays im picking up tomorrow to use during the next few cold months so will have a while to think what colour i want them refurbed in Edited January 28, 2016 by jimmy.farrow7 Quote

Red ? I'm assuming you mean the rim tape ?, it's orange and yes it will be going when I get the wheels refurbished lol, although I quite like it actually. Thanks for your thoughts guys. Blue as with the Irn Bru can............. now there's a thought !!!. Well not really, but it would be controversial lol. Maybe stay with the black but with a bronze or sunset fleck through it. Need to upload a full on side photo and ask a ps guru to work their magic for me. Definately not going silver or anthracite though, like them on other Zeds, but just not for me. Quote
Jetpilot Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 A candy blue would look awesome, depends on how bold you are Quote
Irn Bru Posted January 28, 2016 Author Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Surely Met Blue to match you user name and avatar Like this lol. Sadly I quite like that colour scheme https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=photos+of+bbs+wheels+painted+bronze&client=tablet-android-orange-gb&biw=1280&bih=800&prmd=isvn&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&fir=p-XMrorrJb7FHM%253A%252CydJp0EvkNxnd_M%252C_%253BVNWekjcjVomq7M%253A%252CFE1ZRqTGBfHtPM%252C_%253BrlfFmLoLRxaX0M%253A%252ClZEHI4V8XS1L4M%252C_%253Bm7SRa3DwLxZUOM%253A%252CEkRR3Uy4QURPZM%252C_%253BOTfEhFfmzpllzM%253A%252C9sIUWPfOvjWqYM%252C_%253BzphBUR3Z8aRitM%253A%252CkR-a_nEMIslZJM%252C_%253B6lAwtX-d5XdBDM%253A%252Coa5X__BHz_TI4M%252C_%253Btz1DtmTJTXvcOM%253A%252CFLjePu-8wnTmTM%252C_%253BSEF6PDRvxavCuM%253A%252CnBWU8FYS7mSxkM%252C_%253B16gl1hxEF1X4bM%253A%252Cjm7p52zDfy11ZM%252C_%253B8GJwM8cbQr0E9M%253A%252Cq2sAN0JIZRaNAM%252C_%253B70pYjqJdhlaSzM%253A%252CmPv1WoY-PFPWzM%252C_%253BR5NEwliQvlbklM%253A%252CAdSP6q2dkYCzIM%252C_%253Bcb5amCXxoUmunM%253A%252CqUwEDk469i8UVM%252C_&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiZ1Zrhi83KAhVG1CYKHRsNAFAQ7AkIRw&usg=__GYdbE0a3WsAehw-5zIkK_0vMSPQ%3D#tbm=isch&q=photos+of+orange+car+with+blue+wheels&imgrc=bVs8R5LYo4xhSM%3A Edited January 28, 2016 by Irn Bru Quote
Jetpilot Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 http://www.silverwheelsltd.co.uk/available-colours/nggallery/page/1 Check out the candy blue 1 Quote
Irn Bru Posted January 28, 2016 Author Posted January 28, 2016 A candy blue would look awesome, depends on how bold you are The more I look at that photo and think about it, blue (candy), might just be the route I go Quote
Irn Bru Posted January 28, 2016 Author Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Polished lips Mines have got quite a deep dish on them so yeah silver / polished dish with the candy blue would look the nuts. How close to chrome can you get with paint these days or would they have to be polished ? Edited January 28, 2016 by Irn Bru Quote
Jetpilot Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 (edited) Polished or diamond cut, paint will always look like paint unless you can find someone doing the water chroming. Edited January 28, 2016 by Jetpilot 1 Quote
LRF4N Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 That gt86 gets away with blue wheels cos the orange is more vibrant and it looks much more aggressive Blue wheels on yours would look a bit too barry boy for my liking 1 Quote
