Dene8 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Looking to get my shabby looking LMGT's refurbished after the salt and snow dies down...... the question is which colour........? I've always wanted to go down the dark wheel route and saw Tarmacs thread recently and it confirmed to me that dark wheels + silver car = WIN. But I’m very tempted by Red wheels What are your thoughts.....? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pimm Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I think gold looks best against the silver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 chris I went gold on his gunmetal and i think it looks really good, completely red for me is too much. but the dark colour works well, maybe highlight the lip in red? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwalker56 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I went GM with a heavy grade alu fleck mixed in on mine and love them. If you want to be a bit different, how about red spokes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattG Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 That one but keep the lip polished silver! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkie34 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Its the polished lip that causes all the probs with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dene8 Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 Lot of people loving posished lips but i think they look awful and are more hassle then they're worth .......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkie34 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 They do look good,but when i had mine water had got under the laquer and was turning white.Nearly everyone who has them and runs them through winter has the same probs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maz0 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 Dark wheels look best IMO, but darker than your picture, almost black. and maybe lower a tad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maccaman Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 I thought at first that the second picture was how your wheels were looking now after the bad weather Personally don't think that colour looks right, even prefered the gold, which normally I think is a big no no. As a lover of shiny wheels my preference would be leave them original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 RED!?!!?!?!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Takata green FTW If it was a show car I would agree! TBH, the safe bet is dark, anthracite or GM. Most people like this and would be easy to sell on. If you want to stand out more, I love the look of my gold Rotas, although when nice and clean, they are a garish Look awesome when they are dirty, so dont go bright gold, go for one with a hint of smokieness in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
