Mac Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Was going to get some of my wheels refurbed, occurred to me I might get the colour changed too....Matt black? Any photoshop wizards (Oh god, that's asking for it): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabby Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Worth bearing in mind that the slightest scratch or kerbing will show with black wheels - from the cars I have seen with them (mainly RR's with stupidly big wheels) they stand out big time if damaged.

bazza_g Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Gloss black, not matt black - do it! Same as Wopps M3 he posted on here earlier: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 My Scirocco is a similar colour and I have gloss black and think they look great. Matt black would be wrong IMO. TBH they are lovely wheels as they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Saw a C class C63 coupe in white today with black wheels. Oh my. Very special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as Wopps M3 he posted on here earlier: /snip Ah, of course, I'm a dumbass Hmmm, good point about any scratches showing up, should have realised. So what's the vote, leave as is?

NewNiceMrMe Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I don't think it'll work. I think they need to be directly contrasting colours. Porsche in white with black wheels, cool. M3 in dark blue with black wheels, uncool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 You don't think it works on Wopp's machine? Slightly different blue to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac Posted September 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I think I'm convinced, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woppum Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 I like the wheels black personally, but only because it ties in with the black zorsts, grills, mirrors and windows. I also think it suits the electric blue, which is a bt lairy. Personally I probably wouldnt bother on yours mac, it's more grown up - which I also like.

Woppum Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 That any good? Very good chop, but personally prefur silver on this colour, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 My initial thought was similar to MrMe's, that it just wouldn't work on a blue car, but having seen the pics, I think it looks great, just steer clear of any kerbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonC Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Very good chop, but personally prefur silver on this colour, I'm with Wopps et al on this one. Leave as is gets my vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theduisbergkid Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 There are certain rules that apply to car design. 1-White paint looks crap on anything newer than 1983, apart from Fiat 500s. 2-Alloys must be silver/grey, black alloys make the tyres look lighter than the rims which isn't good, and the eye needs a light colour to make the wheel fill the arch and complete the 'shape' of the car. 3-I know f*ck all about car design.

Andrew Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I have to say I'm not a fan of the black wheels. They did look kind of ok on a Melbourne red M3 I saw (the one with the open window) but all things considered I think silver/polished is the best route forward.
