I personally think you'd be mad to even think of such a thing.

Personal view.  Don't do it, this will be a classic wheel and in demand in original colour!

The only spin I've seen on the Pirelli wheels are as follows, not sure if their reps mind:



With the diamond cut faces and black inners.

If you have to ask why, you'll never understand.

With so few pirelli's been made i find it a shame to mod the wheels. Why not just get some other wheels instead and keep them. You could make some good money on mint pirelli wheels in the future.

First thing Id change on them TBH, the wheels are not the best for limited edition.

Haha, you could only get them on the Pirelli, so I'd say they were almost perfect for a limited edition, unlike the Edition 30 alloys!

You have worked them out haven't you?

They may be limted numbers but what I was getting at is that for a "special" edition the wheels are rather bland IMO.

I think they're a great design, especially when you realise how they've incorporated the letter Ps.

Pirellies look SEXEH as they are. I don't think you should alter them in any way except for piling on a ton of brake dust ;)
