What colour should I go for??
« on: December 08, 2012, 08:37:47 pm »
Guys,
Looking for some ideas here.
I want to make my original (spare) alloys an outrageous colour like bright orange or green etc. but it still needs to go well with the car.
Here is a pic of the car and alloys that I'm referring to - all opinions welcome   :party:

To be honest I think it's only very "Motorsport" look alloy wheels, like TDs that suit lairy colours.

You're lucky you have a black car though - most colours will go with it.

That's very honest of you Andrew, reading posts of yours here in the past I'd have expected some sort of sarcasm from you  :signLOL:

Thanks for the feedback though, I agree black should go with most colours, and I do like the lairy idea just for the fun of it, maybe as some winter tyres.  Bright green or orange maybe??
