Title: Wheel colour
Post by: Syrag64 on March 05, 2014, 05:49:12 am

I have a black golf with set of staggered BBS LM reps sat in my garage and they need a refurb (bit of whiteworm) I already have a set of black wheels with polished rim so I thought I would get the LMs painted up but be a little different  :laugh:

I'm thinking either a purple wheel with polished rim or a lime green with polished rim?

What does everyone think or do you have any other suggestions?  :evilgrin:


Also any pics of said colours on a black car would be great!

Black and gold work really well imo

^^^ as above, but you can do any colour with black and it'll look sick. Personally a mint green would look awesome. Saw it done on a set of bbs rs's.

My mate on the forum (deago) has a set of genuine bbs lm's in gold on his black car so take a look and see what you think.

Cheers guys, never thought of gold, but I must admit at the moment i'm leaning towards lime green, I want something that stands out from the crowd  :signLOL:

I think something bright on black doesn't look too great. His am example of the colour I mentioned, but it's your car..

Probably not much help to you, but white/cream would be my choice, much easier on the eye.
IMO, there's standing out from the crowd, and then there's standing in the middle of the crowd, screaming "LOOK AT ME EVERYONE" :happy2:
Just one guy's opinion though.

Same car as above ^ :drool:

Purple or orange or pink, you need bright colours with black
