Title: What colour should I go for??
Post by: Jussa on December 08, 2012, 08:37:47 pm
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??

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:

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!
