badbaz Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 As the title suggests I'm looking for wheel colour options. My wheels are all blisters (and kerbed ) and need refurbed. Can anyone help me with some options? Remember it's same wheels as shown, although if it's easier to show a very similar style of wheel in a different colour then feel free. All suggestions welcome. Except gold obviously, d'oh! Sorry pic isn't full side on, I don't have one!
stum450n Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 If it's the same wheels that are changing colour, the angle doesn't matter mate. I'm at work at the moment but I'll be more than happy to take a look when I get home this evening if you like.

stum450n Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Well I had a bit more time at lunch than I imagined so here you go mate, a few options for you... Didn't have enough time to remove the curb marks but they should keep you busy for a while! Enjoy! Liking the yellow myself!
badbaz Posted June 9, 2009 Author Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) Bloody hell, you're no bad at that! Can you give it 500hp too? Kidding Wondered about yellow myself but it may be just too bright. Is that the yellow lifted from the cars graphics or just a close yellow? I know I'm a cheeky beggar but could you do something with blue and yellow maybe, also white please and if you have the time something with the light blue tracer which follows the big yellow swooshes? Thanks for your efforts! At the mo, i prefer the bottom one with the yellow stripe. Edited June 9, 2009 by badbaz
Midnight21 Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) The yellow looks good I fancied the red stripe on mine thats it my car is going up too lol....didnt think of that one Edited June 9, 2009 by Midnight21

Thanks for your efforts! At the mo, i prefer the bottom one with the yellow stripe. That's the closest yellow I could get without painting each fin of the wheels separately so yeah, pretty much lifted off the graphics. I'll get some more options together when I get home.

frank c Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) Be careful if you let TheWelsho try his hand at changing wheels/colours etc.. for you. Here's what he did to mine Edited June 9, 2009 by Frank C

thewelsho Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 I'd stick with gold wheels to go with your decals. Otherwise, take the decals off and colour the wheels orange!
wrx kenny Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) brilliant thats just made my night yello ones looking good though kenny Edited June 9, 2009 by wrx kenny
sti_steve Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 I like the Blue on Black I'd second that! More of a gun metal though
stum450n Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Right then, Midnight21's turn... Not as neat as it's late, I had to add different wheels and adapt them from chrome versions (biggest I could find to work with) but they really do suit the car! Black with red stripe imho.
badbaz Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 Great work Stu! I can't help think the gold wheels look awful in the original shot now. Undecided on which I prefer now. Not got b@llox big enough to go yellow! Black with red for you Cath
jonboywrx Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 The bottom pic looks good baz... grey with blue stripe!! gets my vote

Not got b@llox big enough to go yellow! Black with red for you Cath Pleasure mate! Just remember you can always change em back if the mood suits! I may have some pics of one of the midland-scoobies members' cars with yellow wheels to match the graphics... looks awesome, will have a dig around when I get home. Thanks Stu really liking the black/red time to get the steady hand ready lol Again, it's a pleasure! Seem to remember seeing a link for lining tape for the edge of wheels (may have been on demon tweeks), might be worth looking in to. Otherwise, plenty of masking tape, newspaper and patience, you'll be fine!

Looks v nice! Rather than changing the graphics you have to white, why not put a nice new white OSC sticker on the rear window instead?
