Roy Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 I have a spare set of rims which i plan on changing the colour of. Basically the std gold wheel colour was a failure, i just dont like it:( I was thinking dark grey/graphite colour, but after putting the std gret GTST wheels on th ecar i thought they looked way too bland...so got me thinking about white:confused: Basically i am hopeless at guessing what colour would look good, so happy to hear ppls thoughts or see how good some of you are with photoshop:) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/73355-grey-or-white-wheels/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 As i told you b4, on one of our drunk conversations , BLACK looks great on silver. Or if you prefer, black spokes with a polished dish.

Roy Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 Frk off you lot, a colour blind bloke who when it comes to furnishing buys black and white for the home...needs HELP!!! I think AL may have won me over, white is a pain to keep clean, and black will look tuff, ie ugly so goes with my motto nicely. Anyone able to photoshop black and grey?

Ronin 09 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 I've ordered some gunmetal grey wheels... Seriously, I reckon grey would look horn - black wheels you lose the shape of the spokes and wheel to tyre shape.

Anyone able to photoshop black and grey? I vote for metallic silver/grey as dark as you can go before it starts to look black so you get a good contrast with your silver. I dont really rate black rims but its about what makes you happy so if your inclined go for it roy.

Roy Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 What will make me happy is that my car looks better when i throw these wheels on, i dont car what colour as long as they look better then the gold:) And its rather exensive to get the wheels painted only to discover woops "that colour suz as well" something i would most definitely do:( Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/73355-grey-or-white-wheels/#findComment-1347730 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Only costed me $120 to powder coat my 19" rims "precious steel perl" (dark metalic grey) . That's $120 for all 4, not each.

GTRgeoff Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Al that's pretty good. Did it include sand blasting too. I've ordered some gunmetal grey wheels...Seriously, I reckon grey would look horn - black wheels you lose the shape of the spokes and wheel to tyre shape. Yeah those ones on GTTR34's car look kinda understated for their size.

Roy Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 Especially with that bodykit! I was liking the idea of black because im going to do the Rezz impersonator with the black front lip, mod it up with an undertray and that will have the front end sorted for the track:) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/73355-grey-or-white-wheels/#findComment-1347782 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Rims did not require sandblasting, as they where in great condition, was only sanded and powder-coated. Was also warned by another friend that sandblasting alloy can leave a "pitted" surface.
