eagle_gr Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 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! here is a link if anyone is interested in helping! http://img15.imageshack.us/g/p1030246h.jpg/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliffhanger Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Looks cool - who did the paint job? Is it paint or powder coated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben... Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Mine were refurbed and powdercoated.. £33 a wheel :D Piggy did you actually let learners in that with those freshly painted wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew43 Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 how about shadow chrome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liverpool-S Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 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 !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstructorPiggy Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Piggy did you actually let learners in that with those freshly painted wheels? 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!!! PS the wheels are in satin black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle_gr Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 here is a try from a member (other forum) i dont think it suits it....what do you think? maybe gunmetal will be better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffhanger Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I don't like the matt finish personally - looks like they're covered in brake dust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstructorPiggy Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 yeah...not a fan of matt...I think be ace if it was gloss... I saw a brand new focus ST today in the same red with gloss black wheels...wow it looked stunning B) have you thought about white!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sussex Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 All coloured alloys look awful (IMHO) standard looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben... Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliffhanger Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Ok it's not Fiesta, but this is my Saab with Anthracite respray, IMHO it works well with the dark trim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben... Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Saab wheels look good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffhanger Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 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.

fryboi Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 me...refurb and painted heres another lovely shot... Piggy I'm sorry but is it just me that thinks those wheels belong on a 10+ year old car not a modern looking fiesta ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsons123 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikester Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 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 :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
