Wheel refurb - colour recommendations?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Getting my wheels fully refurbed in a couple of weeks, and I want to change the colour a bit.

 

My Zeds black, so I feel I'm not really left with a lot of options in colours.

 

I think black is a bit too much, and the OEM silver is a bit dull.  Anyone got any recommendations on colours? Or any photos of what you've got done on yours?

 

Top of my list atm is a bronze colour.

Thanks.

On black? Literally anything.

Well I'm not into bright green/pink! I was hoping a few people might have pictures of their wheels that I could use for inspiration.  I don't want it to be to in your face, just something subtle & sweet.

Anthracite or smoked chrome

 

What wheels are you running? I’ve seen satin/matt finishes on some wheels that look great 

Stock rays wheels, I've thought about a dark grey too, that and bronze are my two favourites currently.  Maybe gold but that sounds a bit much for me

Not sure how well it would suit rays, worth getting someone to try photoshopping it

 

When I was refurbing mine I wanted satin grey but it suited multispokes more than wide spokes, went for gunmetal in the end

Take it you've seen this thread? 

Okay, not a black Zed, but at least gives some idea of what the wheels look like in different colours...

 

I may be being influenced by looking at pics of my old Focus ST, but maybe white?

Black has all the options. It's your calipers which need to contrast with the alloys. 

 

Personally would say gun metal alloys and red calipers. That's a safe bet and will look mean. 

 

Wanna be risky? Try copper/bronze alloys and gold/yellow calipers.

I hadn't even considered the calipers.  Not sure how a copper colour would contrast with the gold brembos, hopefully it works!  I'm going to download photoshop and see if I can work out how to do it on there.
