Wheel colour on sprint blue

Post by **marcr** » Mon Mar 01, 2010 4:49 pm

As I have mentioned before my wheels require a refurb and I'd really like a different colour if I am going to do it. Seems pointless to spend money for an oem look. I am toying between graphite (ala Klauster) and white. Will white look chav, I have standard optics and it's an avant. What do you think?

i was gonna do mine sprint blue to match the car, but it doesnt look right with standard optics...

if it was black optic then fair play.

i'd say oem to match the silver optics and grill surround...

I did not vote as its hard to say, I like the OEM silver look on Sprint blue, however everybody has it. Im thinking maybe white, if you was going to do some sort of track day style car, then white I reckon will look good, dare I say it, with white mirrors too?!

I safe bet would be Titanium look, mirros also.

Titanium would be safe but I like the idea if being a bit different, may get some prices.

Just to confuse you a little more, what about.......Polished face of the wheel and the inserts White? Will be a bugger to keep clean though.
Safe side i'd go titanium or silver

Definitely not white wheels on a blue car for me!
I think that the standard colour looks absolutely fine on a Sprint Blue car although I can understand you wanting to be individual and doing something else with them.
How about something completely different, paint the spoke inner edges, and rim inner edge in dark blue ( mugello would be about right ) and leave the outward facing surfaces silver/alloy/.
I used to have an Avon Lotus Sunbeam years ago and that car was Moonstone Blue with the wheels picked out with a darker blue as described and they looked well smart.

Polished face with sprint blue inserts or arms? reckon that would look good.

Gold / Bronze goes with blue. Might be a bit scooby for some?!

It does go, but yes had gold on my green scooby many years ago, white seeming very unpopular so far.

So I'm guessing you don't like the idea then.
