[Adam L]

I did black and orange on my Rota wheels a few weeks back...



Ok, they're not turbines, but the colours go well together.

[raj]

ANTHRACITE???? what does that mean?

thats not a bad combo at all are they matt black? i cant stand gloss black wheels

[Adam L]

They are indeed, I didn't like the gloss finish myself.

[Shakes]

ok the wheels looked ok off the car but when i added them looked wrong, shouldve went with a darker orange & lighter black, well im gunna watch dude wheres my car now
so heres the general idea ill shade it better tommorow (sorry spooky i modded ur car )

[raj]

nice one keep em coming

can you do some the same colour as on adams 200sx above? matt black with bright orange rim.!

im also thinking bright orange rims and the rest simply silver!

[Shakes]

..ftw raj, would look darn fresh with your pipework etc....

[raj]

well ive narrowed it down to these 2 now.

shakes, can i squeeze 2 more pics outta ya mate can you do the centre of these wheels below in orange pls mate

[Shakes]

just the centre caps raj? or the whole circle upto the blades?

[raj]

all the way up to the blades mate

[Shakes]

here ya go

[raj]

ahh man, it gets harder. well its which to pick out of these 3 now

im favouring the 1st and 3rd pic at the moment, either that or paint the feckers all orange!

[Wallace]

Raj i feel your pain

Mate loving the third picture

Not normally a fan of dark wheels but with the orange the contrast is bang on

[Shakes]

m8 ive done all sorts of colours whilst photoshopping theys for you, and by far my favourate is the all black with orange rim which is weird i neva like black wheels but just really suites theys turbines on a white 5

[Shakes]

[minty83]

in white not my liking but still

[Hoolio]

I went through this process with a friend doing lots of combinations for me for my spare set of speedlines and I'm still pondering really but with the car being white they are now sanded ready to be sprayed anthracite. The rims have been taken back to bare metal and I was going to get them up to a high polish but decided I liked a brushed finish that looks almost white.

My pennies worth.

[raj]

ok, i think its going to have to be the orange rim/matt black face combo

now for the next question.....

regarding the painting process,
you obviously have to apply primer..
then the paint.. what type of paint is best used on wheels as they get a hard time with brake dust/road salt etc..??

and regard the MATT black paint? do you laquer over the matt black paint or leave it? as i dont like the idea of just leaving it as im assuming ill have to be touching them up all the time.?

painters where you at.?
