Good evening folks!

Im sending my Rhs off next week to get the lips polished to a mirror finish, And i was considering getting my centers painted.

My question to you is, Should i do it? If so what colour, and what finish to go for.

I dont really want Black centers as they will make my expensive wheels look like Wolf-race wheels.

I was also considering polishing the centers and having the sides of the spokes painted a colour, Like a couple of the lads have done to there RMs on here.
But again that might look stupid on the Rhs too!

Feel free if your giving me advise to add a photo of your idea to the post as it will make it easier for me to see.

The colour of my car is Indigo Blue, so most of the colours will probably clash with the car.
Hence why im having such a tough time picking a colour!

I have attached a photo of my wheels, so you can see the way the centers are at the minute.

All help is much appreciated!

Gerrit.

A light grey would be a good safe choice but cream would get my vote too. It would contrast nicely with the Indigo Blue.
Polished faces and lips could be overkill and with the sides painted black there wouldn't seem to be enough substance to the wheels.

Really looking forward to seeing the wheels on the car no matter what you do with them.

Thanks for the input Eoghanroe, There used to be a Reflex Silver Golf on here, with a set of these, and it looked stunning.
But im not running bags so i might not be able to pull them off successfully, Only time will tell.

That would be fantastic if you could do that for me!

I dont think i have any at hight, Ill have a quick look!

The grey centres are nice. If I get a chance I'll do a quick Photoshop for you.

Do you think? Over done I suppose.
The colour I have at the moment is pretty ok too.

There's a couple of beer tokens headed your way,
At dubshed.

Beer tokens for what? Playing on Photoshop instead of working?

I might have been wrong about the red...

It would have to be a darker red to work in my opinion.

And just throwing it out there but how about a tan colour? If you're going for the whole US look I think it would work.
