Title: I'm taking a massive risk..... (Wheel colour content)
Post by: Teo10 on December 16, 2011, 01:46:48 pm: I'm considering getting my wheels painted, have had the idea of Gloss Black (My Car is Black) but thought about getting red wheels...

has anyone done this before?

Wild/different colours looks good sometimes instead of going black all the time. Not on a VAG but my first car ;)

Blood red would go nice

Post by: Teo10 on December 17, 2011, 03:44:37 pm: See, there aren't many GTI's that have had slight alterations on wheel colour in Edinburgh, Saw a Black GTi like mine with gloss black alloys and it looked amazing ( I love the black on black look) but going with the original colour scheme I thought red would be something different, going to photoshop it and see what its like.

Post by: Teo10 on December 19, 2011, 12:43:21 pm: They look niceeee! I was also thinking of going gloss black with a red lip around the wheel, really don't know!

not a fan of just any old colour on wheels, has to tie in with other things on the car

Yeah well, thats why I thought red, just because of the lipstick line around the grill and also the red calipers
Title: Re: I'm taking a massive risk..... (Wheel colour content)
Post by: mkviken on December 19, 2011, 08:29:13 pm: if your gonna fit lambo wheels you might as well do them in a stand out colour i suppose!

is that a black civic in one of them pics with red wheels too?
Title: Re: I'm taking a massive risk..... (Wheel colour content)
Post by: liver on December 20, 2011, 08:27:06 am: yeah the civic has just post box red wheels, its in banzai this month turbo'd civic type r with 308bhp at 5psi very quick car

ive had the gti front and rear badges done in the same colour and also the lipstick on the grill done the same colour just to tie things in without goin OTT

Post by: Betty02 on January 09, 2012, 09:58:42 am: That's a similar colour to what my ''show'' wheels will be going. Purple is ace but I couldn't have it daily tbh, mine are going the same purple as the cadbury dairy milk packets :D
Title: Re: I'm taking a massive risk..... (Wheel colour content)
Post by: JoeDarKa on January 09, 2012, 08:07:57 pm: My summers will be changing colour soon! These were only for winter but i quite like the look of the steelies! They look a lot darker on the car (probably because the weather was horrible when the picture was taken)

Post by: JoeDarKa on January 17, 2012, 11:20:22 pm: Silver is a hard colour to go with i think! There is a silver fiesta near me that has lime green wheels and wing mirrors etc, it looks rank!
