Wheel Colour......
« on: April 10, 2013, 11:02:58 pm »
Evening all,

I've just picked up theses wheels today (thanks again John :happy2:)

http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,62775.0.html

I'm wanting to change the colour to something completely different. Ever since I saw Steve P's green wheels on his Tornado Red GTI I've always wanted to go with something like that, I thought it looked brilliant. I'm torn between that and gold but I'm unsure what colour to do the barrels?!

Anyone any other ideas?! I don't want silver or black or grey e.t.c. I also run a set of BBS VZ'S which are lovely so looking for something totally different colour wise as a second set

By the way, my car is Tornado Red

Get some decent photo's of:

Your car.

a Car with these wheels on (silver would be best) & we can do some photoshopping. Try to get the images at the same sort of angle for ease  :happy2:

Probably an unhelpful reply but cars are personal to you, so you are best of searching for other people who have run a similar design of wheel and what their colours are, doing photoshops or just going #yolo and doing it and seeing if your risk pays off.

It pays to be bold, it's what you want at the end of the day bro.

^^^^ sh*t a brick!  :laugh:

What happened to them, was the bloke blind or taking the p*ss?  I hope you got your money back or at least get the colour changed to something close to your requirements.

To be fair, the wheel colour itself isn't too bad, it's the fact it's only the faces done.. why I always get them powdercoated..
