Which colour to refurb my Porsche RH Turbos?
« on: February 15, 2014, 09:11:36 pm »
Just bought myself these Porsche RH Turbos single piece removed from a Porsche Carrera 7.5j fronts & 10j rears for my Steel Grey Edition 30. Wheels are booked in Monday for a full refurb but can't decide on what colour to go with. So if anyone has any colour suggestions? :happy2:

Wheel colour is great, perhaps just doesn't work as smartly on a Steel Grey MK5?

I'd be looking at a soft anthracite (maybe a matte finish, so there's contrast against the Steel Grey paintwork) or something a bit different, maybe a mature red or off silver? Don't know how brave you want to be  :evilgrin:

I've always wanted to see some VAG wheels in Audi's Suzuka Grey which appears a bluey-cream in most lights, fantastic colour in gloss or matte I reckon  :happy2:

10j rears should be fun!
Hardly any rubbing apart from when going over speed bumps.

I like that colour...  :ashamed:


You got any colours in mind we can pick from?
thanks mate, I'm thinking either Candy Red or Hyper Silver lip with Steel Grey inside? Not 100% though.

Nope only rub when going over speed bumps.

I actually like that colour as well. Need some more pics  :happy2:
Thanks mate, either way they need a refurb as there's a few marks on them.

Wheel colour is great, perhaps just doesn't work as smartly on a Steel Grey MK5?

Ye exactly my point mate, the current colour doesn't do the wheels any favours. I'm feeling brave for Candy Red but then again maybe a darker shade of Grey might pull it off. Suzuka Grey is a lovely colour just not 100% though on my car.

Smoked chrome  :driver:
Good shout mate! :happy2:

Thanks mate, everyone says that but they don't rub when driving at all.

Bronze....

I wouldn't go candy red, too bright! Maybe a dark red?

I think a few photoshops would be handy? (I can't do this though)
