respraying the standard Rays - colour thoughts?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi guys, I've just taken off my BMW 7 series wheels and fitted a set of Teins and the standard Rays back on. Its going into the bodyshop tomorrow to get the front bumper resprayed due to a few stonechips etc i want rid of and have decided i want the wheels cleaned up and resprayed at the same time!

 

Ive got a 2009 350 in black, with lamin-x gunsmoke film on the headlights and black badges all around. Black being the theme i am stuck as to wether i get these wheels sprayed gloss black, matte black or Gun Metal Grey...any thoughts on what would look best? They are standard silver at the moment...

if they are only your "winter" wheels i'd go a bit different and have them done matt bronze

they are probably going to be my permanent wheels for a while as will need them for track this year. bronze sounds interesting though...i need a photoshop guru... :)

Personally I like the standard silver on a black car with rays. :shrug:

i love the black on silver too but want to make it a bit different, can always strip them back to silver at a later date :)

With your black theme I'm suprised you havent gone for some of these...i'm sure someone was selling them here before

funnily enough ive just ordered a set of clear reflectors from Steve @ Redline Styling on here! Been looking for 06-08 smoked ones for a while (to no avail) so i can make some LED DRL's out of them. Once ive made the clear ones il be tinting them before i fit them in a few weeks :D

think id go for a light shadow chrome

i have shadow chrome paint on my 7 series wheels so fancy a change from that too. it does look great though and would definitely be going for that if i didnt already have a set!

Id go for anthracite personally, on a side not that looks like the shocking roads in Stoneleigh :rant:

anthracite would look good. Not far wrong, its Worcester Park :)
