Guys,
Looking for some ideas here.
I want to make my original (spare) alloys an outrageous colour like bright orange or green etc. but it still needs to go well with the car.
Here is a pic of the car and alloys that I'm referring to - all opinions welcome :party:

To be honest I think it's only very "Motorsport" look alloy wheels, like TDs that suit lairy colours.
You're lucky you have a black car though - most colours will go with it.
-
That's very honest of you Andrew, reading posts of yours here in the past I'd have expected some sort of sarcasm from you :signLOL:
Thanks for the feedback though, I agree black should go with most colours, and I do like the lairy idea just for the fun of it, maybe as some winter tyres. Bright green or orange maybe??
-
Pink.

Pink.
Now that is sarcasm :signLOL:

Metallic purple

The metallic purple colour steve did on a set of his TD's looked tasty :happy2:
-
Metallic purple
Great minds :signLOL:

I do try to be helpful sometimes.

Hey Andrew, thanks a lot mate, any chance you can do that with bright orange and yellow as well? :congrats:
-
And add bright red for good measure?? :innocent:

I actually think a powder coated matte bronze could look nice. Not really outrageous or lairy though.

Yeah, give it a polished lip and it could look very interesting indeed!
It's just Photoshop - very easy when you know how!

My wife reckons I'm going through a mid life crisis if I put these on :signLOL:
She reckons bright yellow though.
Those pics you put up are awesome, but not really lairy enough - the yellow looks more like gold, and the green is quite dark. I'll have to try and play around with photoshop, but than I'm no good at it :sad1:
-
Orange. If its good enough for one of these.......

If you've got Photoshop I'd be more than happy to send the file over, then you just need to change the colour of the layer. You can play to your hearts content!

That's the lairy orange I was talking about :party:
-
Purple or orange
-
Purple or orange
:happy2: looking at photoshop when I get a chance for the lairiest of those 2 colours as well as a few others!!
-
Gloss black looks the part
-
Light blue
The Porsche GT3 RS does it and it looks awesome on white, so should look great on black too. :happy2:
-
The Orange or the bright Flame Red :happy2:
-
Whatever colour you choose your have to do the mirrors to match IMO ...... Lime green and black looks good!
