Right my wheels are in a bit of a state, i knew they had been dealer refurbed before i got them which is just a localised spot repairs, but 18k miles, they now are starting to peel despite my best efforts, and also i slipped when replacing the tyres, well balancing them the cupthat pushes against the balancer slipped and put a nice score in the wheels face- fail on my part.
but since all the paint is coming off i might as well change the colour. i'll also wrap the mirror covers since they match the matt chrome of the r-design wheels. so here are the options. Stay silver ![]() white? ![]() whadow chrome ![]() gunmetal ![]() black ![]() I'm really rempted to go gloss black, to go with the head lights and badgless grill etc, but black wheels are a bit common, but it does kinda look like the polstar c30 with the black so thats a big plus. Gunmetal is a timeless sort of safe option. the white was a slip in photo shop but its kind of a grower, i know people with white wheels and they are a complete to ball ache to keeps clean but do look funky when clean, and then there is the shadow chrome which i'm classing the same as gunmetal lol. i did toy and bright orange does look ace with the blue but i'm not thast much of an ASW to run oraneg wheels on a daily lol, might put on orange lug nuts though. I do love the bright silver they are now, when they are clean they look amazing, but i think my main motivation is there is another orinocco r-design kicking about , not lowered or debadged but i really want to stand out from it. any opinions. |

Preferred silver to start with but the more I looked at the picture, the more black grew on me.
