Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Hi All Some of you may be aware I purchased SI HNK wheels last week.... Nice one Si - excellent condition ta, the Abarth looks good in the flesh too Anyway.. I own a Blade Silver JDM with Nismo spolier and very soon to have a CF Varis lip . What I cant decide is whether to keep the wheels Gun Metal or Re-spray back to original silver. I would like some opinions from you lovely people please PS dont let the piccys of Si's car (black) sway you as mine is silver so contrasts will be different..... you need to visualise them on my car. If theres any paint shop pros out there that could help...... that would be ace Many thanks Chris Quote
clarkie34 Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 As I said to you the other day,I would try and get the polished lip back and leave the spokes painted. Can you not just stick them on your car and see how they look. Quote
alessandro Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Oooh, that would look good...... I think I'll be spending soem money soon. Geraghtyr200:i think GM will stand out better Quote
Digsy Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Can you not just stick them on your car and see how they look. Sounds sensible before you spend money. Quote
S1 HNK Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Stick with gunmetal mate, they looked awesome on my White zed and I think the contrast with the silver will look even better! Quote
rtbiscuit Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 darker colours complement the blade well, makes a feature of them Quote

Can you not just stick them on your car and see how they look. Yeah you are right bud..... Just wanted to gauge some opinions, seems a lot of folk are more inclined to suggest the gunmetal. Do you think a polished lip would work with the 'Forged' lettering on them though ? Quote
S1 HNK Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 i think the "forged" bit on the actual rim rather than the lip, so it wont affect it. It can definitely be done, just worth noting that over winter it is likely they will get ruined which is why i had them fully painted. Quote

boomer816 Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 I have to admit only seeing them in pictures i think they look awesome in GM and was considering them myself. Id say run with em until they need a refurb and then think of a change, or look for someone who may fancy a trade against a set in the original silver finish. Quote

Woody Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 Definitely Gun metal. I think it would set the blade of nicely. Quote
cookiemonster Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Definately Gun metal, they looked awesome on Si's old car probably even better on silver. Quote
Darren-B Posted August 30, 2009 Posted August 30, 2009 Be different, keep them gun-metal, I saw them on his car when it was black and white, looked good in both colours, think of the £££ it will save you too Quote
Chris`I Posted August 31, 2009 Posted August 31, 2009 Be different, keep them gun-metal, I saw them on his car when it was black and white, looked good in both colours, think of the £££ it will save you too +1 - and have then redone a different colour when they need doing. I see no point having them redone if they are in good condition, they will look good on a blade Zed Quote

Dene8 Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Thanks guys Will defo go with the Gun Metal for the time being, gonna stick them on at the weekend so I will post pics up when on. Pics...........? edit: i found them Tarmac's Zed Quote
rich5259 Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 I would just spray them black +1 dark wheels on a light colured car edit Voted GM as no black option Quote
