I want to re-paint my wheels but the cost a bit too high (300 euros) so i cant afford any mistakes. i dont want the color to look odd in the car!

can someone help? my choises are anthracite or gloss black ( i think they match better with the car ) but i am not sure!

Mine are the 16" 5 spoke ford alloys...not standard...but you get the idea!

Mine were refurbed and powdercoated.. £33 a wheel :D

Piggy did you actually let learners in that with those freshly painted wheels?

Ben i must say, thats a top class job who ever painted your wheels. A nice high gloss finish to them !!

Also colour choice is great !!

yeah...no worries...its all about the instruction!

I have since swopped to 205/50/16 rather than 195/45/16 as the ride was a little unbearable after 8 hours...it also protects the rims too...from me wife!!! :lol:

PS the wheels are in satin black

All coloured alloys look awful (IMHO) standard looks great

What colour is standard :S

A lot of hondas/ renaults come with anthracite wheels, as do new audi's in more of a matt finish

Some Seats and Fords come with black wheels.

The s1600 comes with White wheels.

Some of the new diamond cut wheels are a grey/polished finish.

Lol

Lol

What is standard? The alloys that 90%+ of cars come with.

Ok it's not Fiesta, but this is my Saab with Anthracite respray, IMHO it works well with the dark trim.

Thanks Ben,

Pity the workmanship was so lousy. Paint's already falling off and only had them done last Oct. So if you're around the Midlands area DO NOT use BB Classic Wheels aka BB alloys. You'll note his website has no street address or landline no.

I'm sorry but is it just me that thinks those wheels belong on a 10+ year old car not a modern looking fiesta ?

I want to get some black alloys for mine, maybe some Rota Grid then paint the spokes black and the outter bit red, not too sure though.

Probably never happen just a dream :(

Think Black is the only way to go though on a red car Though

Common, unimaginative and boring then lol

in your opinion. lets try not to rubbish people's views on what they personally like, we all get told off for that these days.

on a side note ben your wheels are absolutely stunning in that colour. i thought the images you were posting were photoshops all these months, didn't realise you'd actually had them painted.

great effort there, really makes me want to go gunmetal or anthracite now... although i don't like the stock wheels :(
