jjt Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Hi all, My car is booked in to have the wheels refurbished next week; I did say to him I wanted the standard colour... However, I am now thinking maybe a slightly different colour would set the car off a little more. I dont want to go too dark, but maybe a shadow chrome? Any suggestions are appreciated. In addition to this picture, I will shortly be having the roof wrapped in a gloss black as well Thanks Quote
Paddy78 Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 I've just had mine done in shadow chrome and they look absolutely mint. I was worried I wouldn't like how dark they are, but the more I look at them the more I like them. I'll put a pics up tomorrow so you can see the colour, although mine is Azure obviously. Quote

Leeroy Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Darkish wheels do look good on a sunset I reckon. Anthracite or gunmetal for me Quote

Niko Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Hers mine. Powder coated. The colour is manganese. Quote
Dave_the_Rave Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 The Problem with changing the colour is the rays look sooooo good the colour they are, they are bright, stand out and look a good size wheel I got a gunmetal zed with the standard silver wheels and they look a good contrast.. if i was to refurb them in a darker colour would i loose the Wow factor of the wheel? its a hard decision i much perfer the picture you put up than the darker wheels but its all preference i think i want to make my car mine by changing the wheel colour but in doing so not doing the car any benefit 2 Quote
jjt Posted April 25, 2013 Author Posted April 25, 2013 How about the bronze colour that the Rota GTRs come in? Hmmmmmmm 1 Quote
Paddy78 Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 The bronze does look nice! Here are mine... you'll just have to imaging how much better it will look when my car is clean and shiny too! Quote

They look great with the Azure paint; think im either going to be sensible and get an OEM silver finish or go wild and get a bronze Quote
