i think whitw would be good it really stands out but is abit difficult to keep clean, it depends how different you want to go and what your budget is, you could even have them chromed or maby a colour with a fleck in it

I'd not thought of white, as you say, not so handy for keeping clean. The carbon fibre looks cool. Not sure my mate is that good a paint artist Price isn't really a problem. My mate is just starting his business and asked if i wanted my wheels done as he needs 'practice' so cheap/free, woo!

I quite like the idea of a pearl light green colour.

Could always go multi colour,
Red rim and centre where the bolts are (to match the calipers), spokes white or silver.
Just a thought

White looks good with lots of spokes but do you think it'll suit mine?

Give it a go mate you can only try. If you dont like it change it a little further down the line. Yours will be easy'r to clean than mine to.

And get rid of the gold tyre paint, you are not driving a Trans Am, and this is not the 70's

Jog on Shouler It looked good on my mk1 escort, it looks good on this. Bring back the 70s!

Ok, the light green is maybe not quite how i envisaged it looking. I did see a 350z the other day which has a paint colour called 'black cherry metallic' That looked really nice. It was more black than anything but had just a tint of cherry and a sparkle in it.

p.s. its yellow, not gold.
P.p.s The white looks alright actually.
P.p.p.s The zebra style is proper pimp!

Thumbs up

Here they are, not orange/green/zebra etc...

I forget the actual name of paint colour, but seeing that i'm male and work in base colours, we'll call it dark reddy cherry colour. Look really nice when the light catches them at night too!
