Yeh thats motorcycle wheel tape, looks good

Had it on my SRi wheels on my corsa, does exactly what it says on the tin and gives a wicked finish
 
Riko, is that a miltek system on your car?
i like the idea of something different, red, orange. blue. would def be like marmite but it would be something different.

Yeah it is dubz, cat-back at the mo, but planning for a turbo-back come next year, possibly blueflame?
You can get away with pretty much any colour having a black car and it's not like white was exactly subtle, so i reckon go all out with orange or something! Or hows about a fairly deep shade of blue with white motorcycle tape around the lip??
 
^^^ what colour's that? looks very similar to what my mate used.

its anthracite mate, before i had them done i was given a book of anthracite colours and there a millons of different styles.

Yeah its motorcycle tape really please with it! works a treat and really cheap!
 
orange wheels, been saying it for years...well saying that i done my cupra wheels white ages and ages ago...i like to think i set the trend
 
theres is a green vw polo goin round my way with orange wheels and i think it looks awesome, euro look tho so depends what your going for i think
 
a diff colour centre with polished lip is in the euro scene at mo, does work a treat imo, think all one colour would stil be quite motorsporty look.

a mate of mine has a mk3 vr6 golf with orange centres,polished lip on a dark green car and it looks the nuts, gets loads of attention. ill try and dig a pic up.

its not hard but aint easy, really time consuming... start off rubbing them down with a coarse grit paper or if your lucky enough to have access to a sand/bead blaster take the paint off with that... start using say 80 grit then down to a 120 then 180....... suga soap them down rinse off and allow to dry... get some high build primer usually yellow in colour..apply that as it states on the tin...once all dried get a very fine wet and dry paper.. 1200 or similar and take out any imperfections... again rinse off and allow to dry, then your down to your colour choice...apply again as they state on tin..let the paint cure for a couple of days and get some laqquer on there for extra protection, again allow 2-3 days for them to be solid

What Wheels are these ?
I think they would look well smart in Black on a Silver Beeza
