Nismo Refurb **Now Done**

[Dene8]

Looking to get my shabby looking LMGT's refurbished after the salt and snow dies down...... the question is which colour........?

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've always wanted to go down the dark wheel route and saw Tarmacs thread recently and it confirmed to me that dark wheels + silver car = WIN. But I’m very tempted by Red wheels

 

What are your thoughts.....?

 

Cheers

I think gold looks best against the silver

I thought it looked ok but reminded me of the impreza

if you had a azure and gold wheels then yes impreza but against silver does look good imo.

chris I went gold on his gunmetal and i think it looks really good,

 

completely red for me is too much.

 

but the dark colour works well, maybe highlight the lip in red?

I went GM with a heavy grade alu fleck mixed in on mine and love them.

If you want to be a bit different, how about red spokes?

That one but keep the lip polished silver!

[clarkie34]

Its the polished lip that causes all the probs with them.

[Dene8]

Lot of people loving posished lips but i think they look awful and are more hassle then they're worth ..........

[clarkie34]

They do look good,but when i had mine water had got under the laquer and was turning white.Nearly everyone who has them and runs them through winter has the same probs.

Hence my need for a refurb

 

The lips will be going as my wheels are used all year round and i'm not big on cleaning....

do this

 

seriously though, not a fan of the gold. the original or the darkened look is best IMO

[UNABASHED]

the gold look the best by far.

Winner winner Chicken Dinner....

 

I do really like mine, ive had thoughts about polished lips and going black with a red line but for now im going to keep them as they are....

 

Think I might paint the brake calipers soon though

Dark wheels look best IMO, but darker than your picture, almost black. and maybe lower a tad?

 

[Gaz Walker]

I like dark on silver too. Like Gunmetal or Anthracite

definatly gold.. but could look good in copper/bronze

[Ian]

Takata green FTW

[Maccaman]

I thought at first that the second picture was how your wheels were looking now after the bad weather Personally don't think that colour looks right, even prefered the gold, which normally I think is a big no no. As a lover of shiny wheels my preference would be leave them original.

[Sarnie]

RED!?!!?!?!?!?

[Chris`I]

Takata green FTW

If it was a show car I would agree!

 

TBH, the safe bet is dark, anthracite or GM. Most people like this and would be easy to sell on. If you want to stand out more, I love the look of my gold Rotas, although when nice and clean, they are a garish Look awesome when they are dirty, so dont go bright gold, go for one with a hint of smokieness in them
