What colour wheels

[pmanson]

I know Paddy will probably take the ps for this thread but....

The car currently looks like this:


I hopefully have some new 15" wheels coming soon and I'm tempted to paint them. The car is probably going to be turned into a track car next summer, so i'll probably do a theme (white, black and another colour).

The plan will be to have the wheels and (future) cage painted in the same colour...

What do you guys thing (i'm heading towards either red or orange at the moment)

i have orange so i vote green (although i haven't clicked the link to the picture yet...!)

I'll say red, not so much for the wheels but if it's a theme that you are going to take into the cabin I think it will look better than green. If it was just the wheels though I'd say green and the loudest green you can find

ok it's a white car, you're definitely not allowed orange!!

but for track wheels, laz is right, they need to be loud. i wouldn't bother making them match anything else tho, that's the whole point!

Will probably keep the cabin plain with the roll bar/cage the same colour as the wheels

here's my white with orange wheels at llandow. interior (roll bar and bucket seats) is blue

You seem to have missed the violent pink option in your poll....

I thought that was the colour of Slinky's so I didn't bother

[Flying Toilet]

Red with some red graphics ala Porsche along the bottom...

kawazaki green

I was boring and conformist. I just did my wheels bronze with a polish lip (mine is a crystal white eunos)

Doesn't matter anyway does it.... won't be allowed to keep it next year will you

Oh it's staying! Wifey wants us to both do our race licences next year!

I would have said matt black if it was mine but if your going to turn it into a track car every spoke a different colour


Talking of wheels turning up soon I am getting these fitted in the morning

[pmanson]

Good choice Mr V!

[Combover]

My Cerrion silver (with blue highlights) is getting green wheels, tow hook and strut brace.

It's already started.

bronze / gold really suits white - i use to have some gold team dynamics monza (multispokes). sold as they were a bit heavier than i wanted but looked great i reckon (and were cheap!). got dark grey multispokes on at the mo but considering going to gold BBS with a polished lip...

[hornetrider]

I would say black centre with a polished lip on a white car.

Bright orange or green if your going track style.

[quadrifoglio]

If you've got the balls to do it, take pink
Otherwise just a bright colour, green or orange but certainly not black
