What colour do i spray my wheels?

[Brummy]

Ok so are you saying that the normal MK3 rims are 'chav' or the normal MK3 rims in white are 'chav' as im a bit confuddled

the 'normal' 5 spoke alloys in white always remind me of Poxhaull Nova wheel rims... sowwy!!

 

[CupraTgirl]

No normal MK3 wheels aren't chav

White wheels are chav - but thats because they stick out and get noticed, which in this day and age = chav

How much are you paying to get them sprayed anyway? I'd save the money and invest in a set of 17's

Ha ha!

Me and saving money dont match

Im going to keep the normal wheels with the spacers that i have on at the moment and get it slammed

Oh and im getting them done for a good price

Is this a friend thing, or have you found somewhere local that can do them?

I need to get my wheels done. When i bought the Celica, i think they just have had the wheels sprayed on the cheap. A combo of wonder wheels and the pressure washer, and i've managed to blast some of the paint off them

Its a friend thing (known him about 6 years now) but he works for a company you have probably heard of

If i put the pictures up of them once done, you can see what you think and we can go from there if you like?

He only works in Guildford (if its still where he was before as havent spoken to him for ages) so not far

Its about £45- £50 a wheel i think normally but it does depend what you have done

 

[pint_of_stella]

White white white white white white white

sorry.......

 

[Molehill_Mike]

I did think about white to be honest, but I don't think it'll look right.... Anthracite will look pretty sweet I think... it'll finish the motor off nicely too.

So about £200 then, cool, well I'm waiting on a price off another friend of a friend so I'll see what they say...

Yeah i know what you mean, i think chrome would look tacky but this silver that its being done in is awesome, ill put pictures up once its finished!

I did sell my first cupra back in 2003 and had a MK2 Golf GTI 16V for about two years and then got another cupra in March 2005 so have had it a year now and its my pride and joy

dont waste your money there silver already and anthracite just wont look right black will make it look like you don't clean your wheels and youve already said you don't like white

 

[Triple D]

Id say really dark anthracite, or colour coded to the colour of the car, like mine

Yeah but the normal silver is dull and doesnt stand out that much

 

[CupraTgirl]

White wheels on a black car would look uber cool, but wont work with standard 20vt wheels

Black wheels on a black car D ) work if your going for the stealth approach but wont work with standard 20vt wheels

Matt black and anthracite wont work with standard 20vt wheels

Silver would be the best option but wont standout that much from a standard 20vt wheel
