Re: New wheels
Wouldn't it have been a better cheaper idea to buy wheels in the colour you wanted buddy. Cant see a quality powder coating in black chrome coming in much less than £200?

They were only available in matte black so I knew that I may have to power coat them and at least I know nobody else will have themStug wrote:Wouldn't it have been a better cheaper idea to buy wheels in the colour you wanted buddy.

Ahh I see. I would probably run them as they are and see how you feel before changing colour so at least you could be sure.

Re: New wheels
They won't be going on until the spring anyway, so I've got plenty of time to make my mind up

Re: New wheels
Need to see them on the car to judge. Could look great or just ok depending upon how the rest of the car is done, other mods, spot detail colour, etc.
Open rims need nice big discs and smart calipers, else just highlight the rust and dust.
Look forward to seeing them on the car.
