matty316 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Was thinking of getting my OEM alloys refurbed as i got run off the road and curbed two of them by a Range Rover Sport. Was thinking of getting them sprayed gloss black? Good idea or bad idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNABASHED Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 depends what colour your car is, are your alloys the rays or not? I think that painting alloys black can make them look a little lost in the arches, but they do suit white cars well still. how about a time attach stripe around the edge for a bit of colour? I have rays that I steadily curb more and mroe every few months and I will be getting them refurbed but in a more pearlesant gunmetal colour I think.

matty316 Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 I was thinking about getting a new set of alloys but after researching it's gonna cost quite a lot. So that's why i thought about just getting mine refurbed and sprayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNABASHED Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 black wheels on a black car look slightly odd in my opinion, there's always the danger that it will look more like your steelies have lost the hubcaps! How about looking at a more anthracite type of colour - can get some blue specs in as well so it will catch the light nicely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 a change to the colour of the wheels can make a great differents. looking at your pic i d say steer clear of black and as already mention go for anthracite. adding spacers will also make the cars stance change as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alessandro Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Let me know how you going to go about it....... Got the same problem ( and wheels ) I tryed to save up but I keep spending money on other mods Another option would be to get some rays for around £400 and refurb them for £220? all in all just over £600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
