H5 Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Evening all. I've been looking about at wheel refurbishing options (colours and finishes) on the off chance I might see something a bit different (all pending a positive outcome from the warranty stuff of course ). One of the options is 'Bright Silver', like this - http://www.wheelrefurbishing.com/exbright.htm As opposed to 'normal' silver like these - http://www.wheelrefurbishing.com/exsilver.htm I'm thinking I like the bright silver maybe but struggling to picture the difference. 2 questions - what do you think? Secondly, anyone able to Photoshop me a GM coupe with Rays in bright silver?? Pretty please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnybanjo Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 They're not RAYS, but they should satisfy your request for shiny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H5 Posted May 29, 2007 Author Share Posted May 29, 2007 Cheers for that. I think it looks quite good in the sunshine. May experiment a little...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkfish Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 I was thinking of maybe going the other way and getting my stock wheels powdercoated black like Val's done with his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmmackfc Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 2 questions - what do you think? Secondly, anyone able to Photoshop me a GM coupe with Rays in bright silver?? Pretty please? I'll try an mock this up for you tonight between coursework and photoshopping an old P1800 Volvo Not too sure on shiny chrome wheels, personally. They can look good in the sun, but can also look very plastic IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can look good in the sun, but can also look very plastic IMO Thanks a lot, I'd be interested in both!! I don't mean chrome, it's bright silver. Take a look at the links and see the difference. It's not normal silver, but a shinier version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmmackfc Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 You got a decent picture of yours (the larger res the better), having trouble finding a decent GM with Rays on web. Could be difficult to replicate these colours in photoshop as iti s difficult to tell the difference from a photo IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janoof1 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 all you need is the right angle to see what a gm looks like with bright silver wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 I'll see if I can dig out a picture. janoof - I know what you mean with sunshine, but if the wheels themselves are brighter I want to make sure it doesn't look out of place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 What about this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmmackfc Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 That'll do nicely I'll do it tonight hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H5 Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 Cheers Louis Not sure now looking at that. Not sure it would be that 'white' though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedrush Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I know what you can do, have the centre of the wheels the same colour as the car but the lip in polish silver to match the door handle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl114 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Cheers Louis Not sure now looking at that. Not sure it would be that 'white' though? Possibly not no, but it will be quite bright. Just dont do white wheels, everyone is doing that at the moment. Personally i think leave them as they are, they are a good colour and work well with the car, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I can't help with pics mate but I can't see you going wrong with a bright silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 I can't help with pics mate but I can't see you going wrong with a bright silver. That's what I thought but before making a major faux pas I wanted to see if any of the technical wizards could show me what I'm letting myself in for. I suppose worst case it's only £140 to have them put back to original if it looks a bit wrong.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zedrush Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I posted something up early where did that go??????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to tell is to do it, a photoshop will not really give you a great idea of what it looks like in the real world. I say, do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmmackfc Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Ok, here is a quick mock up of two tone rims as Zedrush suggested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
