Its time to change the Pescara colour........again!!!
« on: October 17, 2009, 11:53:05 am »
As per my previous posts I was not 100% happy with the powder coated bright chrome look had to my wheels.

too "pimp my ride"

Went and had a chat with Aerocoat people and norrowed it down to two colours.

Pictures below, which colour do you think would be best? the dark chrome one I can have toned down abit if required.

Dont take any notice in the wheels although the black ones are nice! Just the colours














Cheers

You serious?!

If you're gonna them stripped and re powdercoated... would you consider swapping them for a gloss black set (again Genuine Pescara).

Wouldn't make any difference to your set but I get a new colour again after having the Gloss blacks for 6months :D

Dark chrome would suit your car colour better in my opinion... :smiley:

Having said that the black wheels on CP's car look cool too  :happy2:
