r27 wheel colour

[pritchardR27]

iv got a set of wheels in being refurbed at the wheels specialists and they have been trying to match the colour for 2 weeks but rang today and said they can only get a colour slightly darker do you recon it will be noticable or look od i want to keep my r27 oem looking, whats your opinions guys?

you'll notice it not worth it imo I think the solution for most people has been to get all 4 done or two so each side is the same colour

 

[pritchardR27]

im going to get all four done as iv got a spare set but dont want it to not look oem nevermind the wheels are forsale now lol

 

[jimpy9]

think look better a fraction darker especally on LY dude

TBH I can agree with Jimpy, I understand that you want to keep it as close to normal as possible, however getting a set of freshly painted alloys fitted that are slightly different colour would be much much better than an accurate colour on badly damaged wheels.

my wheels aint badly damaged thets y im in to minds they on is bulbling very slightly on one spoke and one has a chip the size of a 5p coin which i touched up and can hardly be seen

 

[Paul]

Ah right sorry for the assumption mate. I wouldn't worry about doing it in any rush if it is only one one spoke.

i was thinking the same but it just bugs me lol the car is only on 14k now and its like that lol i just want it mint tbh might just leave them

 

[Paul]

Lol I am the same mate - had it done under warranty, but I have another alloy with it on now

Its not really a question of mileage Im afraid. I think it is more likely down to the age of the cars. Its pretty annoying but not the end of the world, may aswel 'let it develop' as they say.

gave the car a masive wash today and noticed it was on two wheels lol fekin annoying what causes it?
