Blue on BlackThe time has come for an alloy refurb.... thinking about going for matt black!!
Any thoughts.... I want 400BHP Help
Yeah why not, think it would look good. I like it when my wheels look darker when they're dirty.
I've got 2 sets of wheels & was thinking about going for a few shades darker when i got the older set refurbed. You can always get them coated again if you didn't like them in the matt black.
.had mine done v dark grey with a touch of wr1 blue they look much better. i was in 2 minds about changing the colour but when i went to pick the car up it was well worth it, go for it. its likt getting a new set of wheels for £160
i was at the fast and modified show the other day and there was a powdercoating place that does them black but puts sparkles in the paint orange/green not sure what other colours you could get my wife was sold on the spot...........i wasn't!
interesting though Gracing the drive.....BMW M3 E92 with all the toys!/Integra DC5/ Integra DC2 race car/BMW X5
gone...Impreza RB320 No 112 gone...Impreza WR1 No 84 gone...Civic Type R EP3 gone...Seat Leon Cupra 225 gone...Civic Type R EP3 gone...(shed with weels)
My WR1 is currently sat downstairs in the garage with my old Cupra R 18" 5 spokes powder coated matt black (my PFF's are away to get powder coated).
They look ok but think the anthracite still looks better Going round corners just got a whole lot faster...
loysAlrite Clark
do u have any photos of ur cupra alloys on the 1.. just to give me a better idea of what it would look like?? I live in aberdeen aswell,, where are u sending ur wheels for a refurb,, and how much is it costing u.. am getting quoted silly prices 120 bucks a wheel!!!(Laws tyers) Also my car is in need of some detailing i here ur the man for that...£££ cheers dave I want 400BHP Help
120 a wheel???
My mate Keith at PPS in Inverurie is powdercoating them and will probs be around £35/40 a wheel. I've had 2 or 3 sets done before and they come back like new, turn around is usually 2 or 3 days at most if they're not too busy I'll get some pics of the car sat in the garage when i get home from work tonight. My dad thinks it looks good with the black wheels but i think dark grey at most would be as far as i'd go.... As for detailing, what's that? Going round corners just got a whole lot faster...
35-40 bucks a wheel is alot more like it,, i just had a look at your WR1 detailing post.. nice,,, are u refurbing the rims in the pics.. they look mint?? would be good to see some pics of ur wheels before and after the refurb. when i bought my 1 from subaru the rear wheels were refurbed but the detailing on the wheels ie the speedline inprint(outprint) looks very blotchy as if they blasted the live out of it.. do u have any problems with this??
As for the detailing how much would u charge to bring my 1 up to ur standard??? cheers I want 400BHP Help
id go for multispoke colors personally. gun metal then shiny silver then gun metal then shiny silver.. look awesome when the car is moving
LOL WR1 owner
I dont fancy being a mobile disco, il leave that to the saxo boys!!! I want 400BHP Help
nooo not chavy. seen them on a few range rover sports they do look quiet nice. to be honest getting black wheels is a common thing where im from. i always liked white but i dont think they would suit a wr1
stick with the original
