Titanium Alloys - Gloss Black & White Walls (Sort Of)

Featured Replies

Well I done a quick photoshop of what my car might look like with gloss black alloys and white wall tyres:

I'm undecided on the white walls though, I have always loved 50's cars with white walls and thought it would look cool on mine.

If you can get white wall tires just spray the rim of the alloy white instead

or try 195/50/16 or 195/55/16 ? Someones put 195/55/16s on titanium 16 inch rims before and said the noise and ride comfort improved

I like the black wheels but not a fan of the white walls. I recon they would look good with the lettering on the tyres done in silver or white. Its a bit of a pain though especially if you have a tendency to kerb it on occasions.

That and you will probably have to do the lettering like that yourself

I see the potential lower it and add the zs body kit and it will look awsome

This should give you a good idea of the end product it's just not lowered

I think im right in saying, I am the first on here to have got my Fiesta 5dr Titanium with gloss black wheels?

Its easy to do the lettering. Just buy a tyre dressing pen. I used to do it on my motorbikes and then started doing it on my cars tyres as well. Havent done it to the current car though. It does mean getting down on your hands and knees for a while and taking your time to colour in the letters. You just find yourself parking yards away from the kerb in order not to mark them.

Have to say, it looks !Removed! AWESOME!

Bearing in mind these photo-shopped in alloys are the mk1 type with the single width spoke (like mine) yours have the narrowed spoke so it would look a little different.

Hey guys got a question last night i had to swerve cause a motorbike came on my side of the road so had to swerve and hit a curb so scratched 4 spokes in my alloy, there not deep but are noticeable. Should i get them repaired and then sprayed black or just get them sprayed black?
