Got another sneaky peak photo of one of the wheels that I might put up later...
i suppose when you get your wheels on that will help you decide what colour to go for on your calipers..

Yellow is favourite right now! ![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")

Centre badge is just resting on the wheel and not "clicked-in" so it looks a bit odd. Photo taken in near dark (just now!) More to follow...
they look good mate!
what prep did you have to do on the centre caps?

Rubbed down the original finish, then about 3 x primer and 3 x paint just like the wheels.
Will post another shot in a bit...
Got to keep you all guessing!
Finished wheel
Here are two shots of one of my finished alloy wheels. (Centre cap not " clicked in" to allow paint to fully harden before fitting properly.) Enjoy!

Nice car buddy!
You have good taste in the changes you make in the car!
The last change that you made, painting the rims, it seems to me to be a very good job, but i think you should have opted for a gray color instead of black! The rims of my ibiza, which are equal to yours, are also painted in matte, but i'm using a dark gray to highlight the beauty of the rims!
Congratulations, nice work you've done!

Cheers buddy! I wanted to go for a grey and black colour scheme for the car. Matt black matches the side bump stripes and bumper inserts (front and rear), my mirrors and rear badge!
great job mike!!

You and me both mate! Might be getting them put back on today.
Can't wait to see them on the car bud, hurry up!
Alright, alright...
Yaa... sometimes what we see while the rims are being painted is not so good as what they look after placed in the car!
Well, they look great in the flesh at the moment, camera pictures do not do them justice TBH. Will get pictures up as soon as possible!
Cheeky git. Spray cans and a project pack of sand paper is all I used!
Thanks for the kind comments folks. I might see about getting the tyres put back on this AM and maybe get some pictures up later! No promises though...
Yea, they do realy need doing again. I'll be doing them myself this time and doing them roughly the same colour but with a gloss finish this time

Gloss... to match your shiney, shiney car!
Sometimes other people don't see imperfections that stand out loads to you though!Gloss... to match your shiney, shiney car!
Thats very true mate. But 2 of them have chipped and you can see the primer showing through
