Will370z Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Well after a crappy week i decided to head off to the pub today for lunch and relax with a cool beer. Sun was shining, pub had some great food and a lovely waitress. Drove back to work and my usual spot had been taken so i snuck into a different parking bay and totally missed a protruding bit of curb and caught one of my alloy wheels - absolutely gutted. Really annoyed as im normally so so careful. Still i needed to get them done anyways to get a match for the off colour wheel the garage provided. So some advice, what colour should i go for. Lighter, Darker, keep them standard - have to admit i do like the standard colour. Heres a picture - any photoshop experts want to try out some colours? Get the crayons out Dave Be interested to hear yoru recommendations Off to drown my sorrows now...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where you too busy thinking about the waitress Look at it this way.. if they needed to be done anyway, no real harm has been done. It just gives you the nudge to get them sorted. If it was me.. I would go slightly darker like the black edition wheels Anyway its the weekend crack open the beer or vino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogyRev Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Gutted for you Will I would either keep as standard, or maybe go a little darker, might look good. but not by much I am sure Dave will be along with his crayons shortly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vik54 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Will bet you were kicking yourself! If you can't just match the one that's been kerbed - I'd agree with the others and simply go a slight shade darker - the pic Jim has produced looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clown Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 At least getting them all done should hopefully ensure they're all the same colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerxp Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 You may not have realised I'd fitted the rotating centre caps (ala Rolls Royce) so the Z's are always upright - it's these touches that make green/red work so well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Gutted for you Will I would either keep as standard, or maybe go a little darker, might look good. but not by much I am sure Dave will be along with his crayons shortly Sorry I am not allowed crayons anymore Will you must be gutted mate, I personally would go slightly lighter as I think darker you loose all definition on those wheels and lighter would show off the bodywork colour better too. If it could be done a silver with black rose flecks would look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK350Z Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Stick with the bright silver. If you go black you might as well have 50 quid Halfords jobs on for all you can tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveparkin Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Nightmare, gutted for you Will. I'd be inclined to stick with the standard finish, but at least you'll get all 4 matching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 Cheers for the responses guys, i agree lighter does show off the car better. I always feel darker wheels look like ive lost my hubcaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
