Reading a few of the wheel threads recently has inspired me to consider changing from the OEM 17 wheels to something a little more eye catching.
I wanted something that was going to brighten the sober body colour and match in with the black/red interior.
I've posted a couple of pics below for comparison purposes.
I quite like the diamond cut finish and wondered what this would look like with red wheels? I've seen some by Fox but they only do 4 holes.
I was also thinking about getting the existing wheels powder coated maybe with a colour gradient from Anthracite at the back to Red at the front with or without diamond cut faces.

I want it to look interesting/different but not chav/boy racer.





[Edit] Recoloured the OEM wheels to see what they 'd look like too.


[edit] Took a bit longer but managed to get a powder coat + diamond cut effect.

 

And thats not chav

 

awful IMO, there a group buy on rota wheels in the traders section if your looking for a deal? Im opting for slipstreams

 

Sorry don't like them

 

The red looks shocking IMO.

Std looks classy, black fairly nice but any other colour can look a bit Elizabeth duke...

 

I'd get yourself a set of Rota's mate but then i'm biased

 

Red wheels?

 

If you want to brighten the sombre body colour.....

You may as well go this route and earn yourself

 

Kind of reminds me of the red piping found on 80's hot hatchbacks. So a :thumbdown: from me.

 

run away from the red!
