some ideas for my new rimage

[Mckellar]

Bought another set of D90s today (sold my polished ones, but there is a story behind that).

8" rear and 7" front, although from lip to lip on the rims they are 9" and 8" + 25mm FK adaptors.

Im keeping my car the colour it is, so i was thinking of either:
1) painting the rims cream face with black inserts and a black basket
2) getting them mirror polished with black inserts again
3) leave them all the way i got them (matt black with silver pin stripe) they need a refurb anyway, but i got them cheaply, no scene tax!

couple of pics:

would these be off edition 38?

 

[crezz]

oh and go for cream, would look sweet

Thats gotta be the 5th set of D90's you have bought. I think you have a problem
Like the idea of the cream faces, think that would look good.

 

[Mckellar]

technically they are off E38 bud, but the guy is also only 5 miles from my house, so i dont think its the same person you're thinking of.

Cut me a good deal, so i just took them even though they'll not be on for a few months.

Brummy,
Any pics of the Estorils on the green machine yet? Or is it still a work in progress?

David,
Gloss cream could look good. Might be risky though! Maybe with a black pinstripe around the edge?

 

[crezz]

brummy they are sweet

 

[Mckellar]

i've had another wild idea?!

matt black all round with kawasaki green lip...kinda risky but can work!

Yeah, i bought a set of D90s first, wore the tyres right down on em and sold em for the same price as i paid, the 2nd set were too skinny, the 3rd set were polished and i sold em cos i got offered £200 more than i paid

and now these lol

 

[crezz]

that would be different. still like the cream idea tho... where do you get the refurbing done too?

Anthony,
Only did a 'trial fit' fella.. as I happened to have a back rim off one day..(pic below).... no rubber on it when I did.. the 'Rils have been kept covered and dry since I got them, have the rubber to go on but in no crazy rush as yet due to the crap on the roads ( winter salts etc).. 1st time these may actually be seen properly is down at Pod, as theres a few things i need to get done with the car..(lowered for one) and I confirmed earlier today that my MOT falls while im away in NZ, so it looks like I may have to get a test before I go, possibly up to a couple of weeks before I do, due to having little /no time to getthings done if it fails should i leave it till the last minute

Id go cream, with fully coloured porsche centre cap badges. You think these ones will make it onto your car??

Hey Brummy they are looking pretty special!
If you need anyone to drive the Gti around a bit while you are away just give me a shout

[Mckellar]

i know a painter mate, he always does me a deal as a homer, but the price of paint per litre has gone up so i dont know how much exactly it will cost now.

When i got my last porsche set done he did them for £100 cash..

but i can see it being easy 150 now.

lol.. nice try

 

[Mckellar]

looking good mate. only problem is, they are a bit skinny for a GTi, are they not only 6 or 6.5"

 

[Brummy]

6.5's .. but lowered and spacered they will look ok...
cant be doing with this 'Carlos Fandango' type style with the big stretched rubber sticking out looking like someones put F1 rims on a go cart

 

[Mckellar]

hope there was not a reference in there to me John

 

[Brummy]

Porka's are *hardly* F1 cars, David

 

[Brummy]

In fact , fella.. talking about Ed 38 and rims.. theres a set of polished 'Rils on there .. you seen them ? fella has REDUCED the price to £300 and the still havent sold .. the thread is about four months old/long too!!
