Wheel colour

[Car.crash]

im sending my 200 alloys off for paint tomorrow.
It a racing blue car that's standard.

I'm thinking of a dark anthracite.

Any pics of what looks good or your opinions please.

What colour are your bumpers, trim, mirrors etc ?

You've got to fit-in with those imo......or go contrasting....ie: ORANGE

 

[Car.crash]

Gloss black, but I can't have gloss black wheels. It's aids

 

[Car.crash]

That's as it stands, wheels offend me and the tyres are the wrong size.

What wheels do you currently have?

You could go for an effect or diamond cut of the wheel is suitable.

I have satin black.

What colour should they have been from factory. Mine look awful and I can't see renault shipping them out in that colour.

The bottom ones look good but I'd go a fraction darker

They would be anthracite from the factory if it has cup chassis.

 

[Car.crash]

It has the cup pack

Not a wheel, but my sons bike frame. Black base with a chrome over lay. Not a heavy coat

GT-R wheels are sexy in dark anthracite

The std wheels are not pretty at all. I want them to look tidy but hidden if that makes sense.

I had a set coated in this colour, light not great, but it matched the original centre caps pretty well. It was a light anthracite, appreciate that your looking for darker but this was pretty close to original....

 

[Car.crash]

That looks ace.

Looks to me from what you've been saying; you've got more issues with the wheels themselves and the tyre size as much as the colour.

Would you not be better off sorting that frst ?

 

[stevef175]

You can pick your own colour. The caps can be coloured.

This is the process we followed for mine.

Problem one sorted. As for swapping the wheels to aftermarket I won't do that.
I just want them tidy and less offensive.

WHITE!!!!! white wheels on RB is immense and pure sex! I'm disappointed I didn't follow thru and went gloss black!
