Title: The Fridges new wheel colour
Post by: Hedge on July 08, 2010, 04:20:03 pm: The wheels have bugged me since I bought the car so now's the time to have them fixed.

I had my Ed30 wheels powder-coated by a company in Basingstoke called MyAlloys my only concern is matching the plastic centre caps but I will discuss when I see them face to face.

Anyway bring on the votes, or if anyone has some sensible suggestions I may have missed lets hear them. :party:

Post by: Hurdy on July 08, 2010, 04:57:40 pm: Paint alternative spokes black and grey. It would go very well with the wheels as they have 5 spokes further forward than the other 5 :happy2:

Alternatively strip them and don't repaint as with the weight of the car you need to save all the weight youcan to catch up with the Edie 30's :P

Post by: keith on July 08, 2010, 07:54:24 pm: Having the same car colour as your good self I can recommend Black Sparkle, it basicaly black with some anthracite/silver through it makes it sparkle not bling and not flat like gloss black.
