glrnet Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Absolutely the right decision regarding the polished finish, my Linea Corse Dynas had polished rims before I had them changed to flat silver at Lepsons. The guy there told me I'd lose a mil or so every time the pitting needed to be machined off. Pearl white for the centres Right chaps........ The car is booked in on Thursday for a refurb. Every refurb shop I went to has told me not to go polished as they are just going to pitt and be a nightmare to keep. So I am going for a chromey style on the lip and I STILL havent decided on the colour for the centers I think am torn between pearl white and an anthracite grey. By all means chip in guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm I am tempted by the pearl white rims......... ahhhh I just dont know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RisingPower Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Right chaps........ The car is booked in on Thursday for a refurb.

So I am going for a chromey style on the lip and I STILL havent decided on the colour for the centers I think am torn between pearl white and an anthracite grey. By all means chip in guys Chrome If you're worried about them go with a finish like phantom (matt black dish, titanium gunmetal spokes with red stripe around the edge) I think white on white is a bit... Odd. Anthracite is just brake dust grey Your name isn't puff daddy is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 i wouldn't go black on the outside, but an anthracite, but couldn't find a picture, this was the closest i could find. i'd also go a darker bronze colour as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
