Jay Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Hey guys and gals as most of you know I recently got some Volk GTS wheels and I couldnt decide what colour to refurb them. Orange was a bit too out there for me and Gunmetal was a bit on the boring side... so I decided to go for midnight purple and keep it in the nissan family Anyway here are a few quick pics of the wheels.... I love them... they look black in certain lights and then all of a sudden the purple shines through Again these will prob be a marmite thing but hey ho... I will post better pics later on. Quote
DoogyRev Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Stunning Jay Nice choice of colour, they suit your car really well ........ and yes better pics are required Quote
Will370z Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Good choice, but then im a little biased on that colour Bet they look awesome when the sun hits them. Quote
BulletMagnet Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Ah, so is that how the chrome powdercoat turned out? And I was 33.3% correct with my colour guess too. Mainly cos I couldn't see any other colours working with a lip and a white car Quote

Mainly cos I couldn't see any other colours working with a lip and a white car Thanks for your comments guys. BM yup thats the silver chrome then with a clear coating over the top... so winter wont affect them. I really love the look of them as its subtle yet still modified Quote
evilscorp Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 really sets off the amount of dish those wheels have. Quote
ATTAK Z Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 I love them Jay ... but then we always did have a similar taste in wheels Quote
Neilp Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Those are gonna look amazing in the sunshine! Quote
Ricey Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Have to say their not for me but fair play on having the knackers for the colour Quote
spursmaddave Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Very nice fella, any plans for the calipers? Not sure on the blue nuts, looks too busy with 4 colours on the wheels Love the purple, I want a purple Zed Quote
Jay Posted September 8, 2012 Author Posted September 8, 2012 Very nice fella, any plans for the calipers? Not sure on the blue nuts, looks too busy with 4 colours on the wheels Love the purple, I want a purple Zed Cheers bud... they are neo chrome nuts... so they change colour in the sun I am unsure what to do with the calipers if am honest. I would like to wrap my roof gloss black and possibly the front splitter. So I wouldnt want to add another colour into the car on the calipers. Quote

ATTAK Z Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 You should get purple nuts Jay I think Jay's nuts do go purple at certain times of the year, mainly due to the cold Scottish winters Quote

Unfortunately the calipers spoil it for me with the big NISSAN on them, not just yours but 370's in general :thumbsdown: Not quite sure what to suggest really Oh and I have known my nuts to go red in the sun Quote
S1 HNK Posted September 8, 2012 Posted September 8, 2012 Look great mate After all those photoshop options you went with one we didn't even consider Quote
LRF4N Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 As mentioned already, enough colour without being too bold which borders on tacky. Maybe a bit too dark to see the wheels from a distance but il wait til I see them in the flesh. Think they will look spot on in the sun Bright purple calipers should set them off. Bright to add more colour but without adding another colour if thar makes sense. Should compliment the wheels nicely Quote
spursmaddave Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Bright purple calipers could be the answer Quote
DoogyRev Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Bright purple calipers could be the answer +1 trillion .... Oh yes Quote
BulletMagnet Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Bright purple calipers could be the answer +1 trillion .... Oh yes Anodised Purple Jay, is it possible to see more detailed pics of the chrome powdercoat? Are they shinier in real life than the pic shows? I am debating whether I should make my wheel cleaning regime less complicated... Quote
