Wheel Colour

ando · 07-11-2011, 01:40 PM

Hey up,

Thinking of having my track wheels repainted, just not sure what colour to do them. They're csl rims and black at the mo, but black on black has wore off a bit, now I have put the standard wheels on for the winter.

Quite liking the sliver but thinking about something similar maybe anthracite grey or maybe going for it and having bright red??

What do you reckon??

Ando.

I always think black wheels make the car look like it's had its wheels and brakes nicked. Naff.

Silver get's my vote but a touch darker could look good too.

I like fluorescent orange on SG but would go for Fluorescent Yellow (Hi vis vest colour) on a SB car

Both these for track only, silver for road use.

Would like to have my mirrors done as well but that would mean BRIGHT orange all them all the time as im fooked if i can be bothered changing mirrors for every track day

Red is good on a SG CSL

I've got a set at Rimstock at the moment being refurbished and painted satin bronze.

I'll post a picture if I can work out how to once they are fitted.
