I would try a little darker still, but not black :smiley:

I wouldn't be unsure about them Monte, they look okay fella, but agreed you can definitely do some work to make them look tremendous, particularly on a Silver car.

I'm with Gaz ^, I don't like 'black' wheels, nothing too dark as I'm all about subtlety and in this case I think some kind of grey/mild anthracite would look the dogs on Bimotos Monte  :happy2:

I like the wheels but the centre section around the bolts area doesn't look right to me, so i would go for gloss black.  :happy2:

Well these wheels are now off the car because my Pescara's are back on sporting a sexy Satin Black powder coat  :happy2:

Well It was always on the cards that when I got another set of wheels that I would either sell my Pescara's or Powder coat them. I decided to powder coat them in Satin Black.
I am over the moon with the results  :smiley: Makes the car look real mean  :evilgrin:

Tomorrow I am gonna, a) spray my front/rear VW badges in Satin black, and  b) replace the cam follower  :happy2:

Here are a couple of photo's....

Thanks guy's  :smiley:  I got to give these chaps a plug for doing a really flawless job with the Powder coat. Total Wheel Works in Nottingham are the fella's  :happy2:

They can do all sorts of finishes (wet painting/powder coating etc) and at £40 a wheel its a great price too  :notworthy:

They had some Massive 20" AMG rims wet painted in gloss piano black  :drool: :drool: :drool:

Here is the website. Not an amazing site, but their work is excellent......
