Cragus Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I am having some wheels painted in the next few days so that they are ready for Friday coming and after speaking to the painter tonight need some help decided what type of paints should be used (matt/gloss or both) and what shades etc. I am hoping to imitate this look....... .......on this wheel This is a fairly recent picture of my car: Currently, I am thinking the lip should be painted gloss red to match the calipers, the dish to be painted gloss black to match the car but I am completely unsure about the spokes - should this be a matt colour? I think silver will be too light for spokes and gloss colours too much. Any ideas - opinions and photoshops work appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruddles Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Cragus, if you're after an imitation to the awesome Zed at the top, then it's gloss red, and matt-black dish, matt-silver spokes I think you'll find. My 2 cents! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragus Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 Thanks ruddles - on closer inspection I think you are right - matt black dish. I am not sure about the spokes though - matt silver (i.e. like a gunmetal type colour?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure about the spokes though - matt silver (i.e. like a gunmetal type colour?) Looks like matt GM to me. My spokes are matt GM.

clarkie34 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Think its titanium gunmetal. Here is a link to rays website.http://www.rays-msc.com/wheels/index.cgi?d=15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruddles Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Np Hard to tell the spokes, maybe mercury silver? (Looking at this chart) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RisingPower Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Think they're the phantom gts's. Titanium gunmetal (matt finish) spokes, flat black lip Oh and good luck getting the colour code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely love the look of these, but i think it's the R888's that make them look special on the zed at the top. Amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
