So yesterday I did a test paint to see if the colour I picked for the wheels would suit.

I posted a couple of pics on the Facebook group and did say I'd upload some higher res ones here today.

So what do you think.

They look really smart! Subtle but males a big difference!! I'd be having those on my car if I could! Ha
I much prefer the new colour, goes well with the car.
Just the fun in fully preping the wheel now Lol  almost done on this one ready for full paint up, it's much harder to do with tyres on thou.

Center caps what should I do with them? my thoughts are.

Leave them Carbon flash

Silver (this could lose the VX badge)

Silver with carbon flash behind the badge.
I'd leave the centre caps the way they are, nice way to tie in the cars colour
Looks a lot better and yeah I wouldn't touch the caps.

a tint will work well mate
Well I've completed the colour change now to have them re-balanced then I can give them a good coating of wax before putting them back on the car.

They look purple.

Yeah been a busy time so not had chance to look online... to be honest saved me a fortune on not modding lol
Right I've finally made a start compounding polishing and waxing the wheels only 3 to go now.

Really nice mate. Liking the colour.
They look spot on mate.
I was considering the same myself but not sure how they would look on my Power Red GTC
Thanks mate I reckon they would suit red.

Here's them fitted to mine.
