  1. I have a black 250 and need to get my wheels returned after some twat on a bike hit me.

    Was thinking about getting them done in a different colour. A gun metal grey or anthracite!

    What's people's opinions on this?
     
  2. send us a picture and i will photoshop you some if you like? bored ....
     
  3. the only problem i find with a black car and then darker wheels is it makes the car look heavy

  5. Not great but not bad for an idea.

  6. Does make it look a little different. Really unsure about changing the colour
     
  7. Personally i would keep them black, or maybe red, but think red might be a bit in your face, stay with black haha

    I think black is potentially one of the only colours on these that you could get away with doing the wheels anything other than black and it look ok.
     
  9. A friend of mine said I should go red but like you said but in your face. But saying that if it had red wheels the wife wouldn't be seen dead driving it. Hmmmm

    I'm getting mine refurb'd in red after the winter as i fancy a change from black.
     
  11. What kind of red you going for? I'd love to have the balls to but worried I'd regret it.
     
  12. I like this red but think it would be impossible to spray on and keep like that? and any other red will be OTT, are you going same as brake callipers? [​IMG]
     
  13. I like that red too. Think I want to keep it a little more subtle.

    Like this?
     
  16. Black just looks so good on yellow, think the red might be a but of a clash, are you plasti-dipping or going all out on a proper respray?

    Nath, Similar to that but a bit brighter similar to what the OZ Allegeritta's come in.

    Josh, Proper respray, well powder coated actually as it is far more durable.
