[Mk2] [Generic] Thinking about painting my wheels???

Post by alan wheeldon »

They were chrome to start with but they could now do with a refurb so im thinking of painting them. Ive got a few ideas but there a bit different to the usual norm. I like the black ones but that style has become so common now I am starting to go off the idea. I really like the light blue as its the same colour as my engine bay and it stands out but cant decide if it looks silly or not??

Im not very good at photo shop and these pics are done on paint, any opinion welcome :-k

polished is my favorite, but if it rains allot... probably not.

I like the blue.. maybe white, but not black. Over done.

the colours are very uncommon for a reason, either leave them as they are or the black with the silver lip.... :-k

I think red or black, would be able to get away with it being a black car - Red would be my choice though
