Wheel Colour

Post by lardy » Sat Feb 25, 2017 3:38 pm

Looking to refurb my wheels (it was the wife, honest)

Mine B7 Avant is Mugello Blue with silver trim, I'm tempted to change the look slightly with the colour of the wheels. Maybe Gunmetal Chrome or Black Chrome....

Any thoughts on this? Anyone done it all ready and have a picutre?

I don't want to change too much as the trim will then look too different, so black etc out of the question etc.

Ive looked at thewheelspecialist.co.uk

The Subaru child part of me liked the look of the TWS Gold, however this will NOT be a colour I'm going for.

Any thoughts welcome, many thanks.

With the mugello, I reckon silver actually works best (have a look at covkiller's RS beauty).

I wonder what a diamond cut finish would look like on the OEM wheels?

As above with Mugello Blue silver is best suited imo. I refurbed my wheels silver ( sprint blue ) but added a deep gloss to the finish. Which while looking OEM adds a little extra to the finish of the wheels.
