Changing the colour on my spare set of 107's

[a11y]

Am I alone in thinking a darker-coloured car looks best with some contrast to the colour of the alloys? i.e. silver wheels on a darker/grey car?

Saying that, since you've got a spare set and are looking to do something different, I'd vote for a shadow chrome effect. Certainly the best alternative to silver posted so far IMO.

Dropped them off today - gone for smoked chrome - lets see what Wednesday brings

sure they will look great

I'm watching this thread with interest. I've been considering the smoked chrome finish for my scabby 107's for some time, but I've not been brave enough to do it without seeing an example first.
Ranski, where are you getting them done?

[ranski]

Erdington, Birmingham, http://www.thewheelspecialist.co.uk but they do appear to be a chain across the UK

Paid £220

PS I wouldnt have done this unless i had the spare set

[Ian Hammond]

I hope that you post the pictures up as soon as possible after collection. Mrs H has been asking what I want for Christmas.....a wheel refurb might be better than a bottle of aftershave and a pair of novelty socks

[ranski]

Well they are fitted and I think i like them - Some before and afters (although the afters have some grease on the tyres)






Going to get the wheel nuts treated next, also order some carbon badges for all round

[chrismann85]

Will look great with CF badges, well done

[cj10jeeper]

Yes - I like the end result.

Agree on the CF badges too.

Shoudl look really good in different light conditions and different angles

[Ian Hammond]

They look the muts nuts!
I think that's sorted out the Christmas prezzie for the Z4 this year.......

[ranski]

if you use the same place as me i can get you 15% off - I just need to send you a referal letter with my name and invoice code on it

[Ian Hammond]

Thanks Ranski, that would be a result. I'll PM you my email address later

I travel up to Birmingham quite regularly for work, so I can drop the wheels off at Erdington no problems.
The online quote system is coming out at £329.00 for the smoked chrome + the cost of removal and replacing the tyres?

[ranski]

i paid £225 but there were no tyres on my rims and they were almost immaculate - I will send the form tomorrow

PS i asked for a slightly darker shade of smoked chrome - but they will have this on their system/invoice

[Wondermike]

Really like them

[Lucy]

I really like that! Looks great
