So, after the weekends results I need to get my wheels refurbed...
Now...what colour do I go for?
1/ OEM
2/ Gloss Black
3/ Red
4/ Orange
5/ Bronze
Obviously i'm not a track monster like the rest of you boys (maybe next season), but I like to look like i'm fast...and yes I am a pikey with these being my only set of wheels (for now)...and no I don't want to look like a homo.
And no, I don't want them pink, nor brown, nor black on the outside and pink in the middle....
Choices choices choices...

Verde Ithaca gets my vote for a set of track wheels, 150 standing still - guaranteed:finga:

1/ OEM - as God intended
2/ Gloss Black - cool as fcuk
3/ Red - gay as fcuk
4/ Orange - in Dynorod...smart as fcuk
5/ Bronze - if you have walnut dash inserts, smoking jacket and metal AA badge on grill

How about shadow chrome, like the e39 M5, hard to get the finish right but when done right it looks great imo. Changes in direct sunlight or bright lights.
Edit: Found and example of a shadow chrome csl

Actually, I think bronze looks good on SB cars...
But then why have a SB car....and therefore bronze wheels.

Having the same dilemma. Thinking Bronze on a SB car might be the option, just to make it a bit different
But then I do like gold wheels on a black 430 Scuderia...

I'm with Yanto - Bronze is so not CSL, try with a rim guard any colour you like:

And don't forget the white for the tyre wall. Looks great on the slower colour.

I always wanted to run the gold ones on my Black RS500 looked the dogs on other cars, would like to see what they look like on the SB CSL. :-D
