Lattice Allot Paint Options ...Piccys please!!

[keynsham]

So I have decided that it is just too much trouble to clean, prep and paint my wheels myself. Just too cold and I don't have the time. So I am going toget them refurbished which gives me options.

I have always quite liked the standard plain silver but I am thinking of getting the rims diamond cut. I have seen cars like this but with black instead of silver, and with body colour. I could also have the diamond cut done right up the spokes like Mercedes seem to like.

I would be interestred to see any pictures of cars with lattice alloys with any paint option , and also to see what is the most popular option. Mibe currently look like this.....bog standard!!.

Ignore that it's a Boxster, I sold it over 3 years ago, but it was one of the nicest wheels on a car I've owned. Split rim, yes, and not lattice but similar. Gunmetal grey centres with bare metal (but lacquered) rims. A possibility?

This was Poppy's (350i) alloys...Anthracite with diamond cut rims



Delilah (280i)...Gold bbs originally but had them refurbished and diamond cut rims..and 3D printed wheel caps as the originals were lost.

I really like mine. Dimond cut face with an anthracite background colour.

My wheels used to be painted body colour, I got the company my brother used to work for to strip them and powdercoat them. This apparently was a massive ball ache as the paint on my wheels was so thick and tough it took nearly a week in the stripping solution to get rid of it all (most car wheels take less than 20 minutes!) The photo is deceptive, they were done in shadow chrome which is bright at the surface and gets darker as you go into the wheel.
They look stunning in real life

Those are in way better condition than my original set which are flakier than anything Cadbury ever made.
I was lucky to find a set of the diamond-cut wheels used on the 350SE so fitted those instead of having the originals spruced up.

Best I've seen, back in the day, was yellow car with matching yellow wheels.
