MarkW Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Ive decided to get my wheels refurbed before I sell my car. Ive found a place which is near where I work called Lap Tab, they seem professional and I have found some positive reviews. The question is they only do certain colours, so I cant get them refurbed to the exact same colour and need to decide which colour will look best. Pics of wheel colours on link below: http://www.lap-tab.co.uk/alloywheels.php My Car is a Black GT4. I have a favourite but wonder what others think. Quote
u2---- Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Where is the Kawasaki Green option???? As this is to sell your car Mark, I would stick as close to stock as possible (not everyone likes black wheels etc!). After saying that I do think the Charcoal / Anthracite would look great on a Black GT4. Quote
sl114 Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Keep it standard dude, they suit kuro the best IMO Quote
M13KYF Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 seeing as you might be selling it soon, I'd keep it standard Quote
Chris`I Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Keep em standard if you're selling, thats what a buyer will expect Quote
GIXXERUK Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 standard - appeal to the wider audience mate Quote
MarkW Posted January 21, 2008 Author Posted January 21, 2008 Totally agree about keeping standard if selling, but thing is their 'standard' silver looks significantly lighter than my GT4 wheels and I'm worried it wont look right. They dont do colour matching (dont know if any wheel specialists do), so whatever I choose wont be standard anyway. I was thinking about the black chrome as they are still silvery but a bit darker and think they would look good. If I really like them (and my back gets a bit better), I may end up keepig it a while longer anyway Quote
zebedee! Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 A colour like that should be fine Mark as most people wouldn't notice the change from stock. Funny i was talking to these guys today as they claim to be able to do split rims but as per usual you have to split them apart yourself and assemble them up aiang once refurbed Simon Quote
jonathan73 Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 Here's what they look like Anthracite - I had mine done under warranty.... They took some getting used to, but after a week or so I thought they were an improvement. However, I then decided to sell! And, they helped the sale. The 3 serious buyers all stated they liked the wheels more than the standard colour. But that's of course only my experience. Quote
Liam's Z Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 If it's helped with the sale then what a bonus Quote
MarkW Posted January 28, 2008 Author Posted January 28, 2008 Just dropped car off this morning for the wheels to be done. Hoping im gonna like em when they're done........ Will post up pics but prob not until the weekend. Quote

MarkW Posted January 28, 2008 Author Posted January 28, 2008 The 'black chrome' in the end....probably look like Jonathan's pic, maybe a bit darker. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh this afternoon Quote
Beavis Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 The 'black chrome' in the end....probably look like Jonathan's pic, maybe a bit darker. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh this afternoon Would have kept them standard myself which was a smoked silver. Will be interesting to see these. Looking forward to seeing the pics. Quote

Yeah, you're probably right. It would have cost me £50 less to have them as standard silver too, but I just wanted to be different...... Quote
Sarnie Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 The 'black chrome' in the end....probably look like Jonathan's pic, maybe a bit darker. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh this afternoon You mean the black chrome that only 2 people voted for? Quote

MarkW Posted February 18, 2008 Author Posted February 18, 2008 Finally got round to taking some pics of my refurbished wheels / car..... Quote
martinmac Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Looking good. Also looking very clean, makes me feel very guilty, cant hand wash the car as I live on a steep hill, local jet washes are all frozen Quote
M13KYF Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 why does living on a hill stop you hand washing you car Martin. Can't work that one out Quote
martinmac Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Its only 1 deg C and the road is sheltered and icy so we have an agreement that anyone washing cars on the road will be lynched. Gritting truck normally gets to us about June. Off to my mothers to wash it, dont know her neighbours that well Quote
M13KYF Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Can't you get the council to leave a grit bin Quote
