Hi Guys,

Got new Wheels on (metalic Black) and I think they look great.

I have a question for you all. the red nut can be brought in Gun Metal, Silver or Black (there is blue but I wouldn't have that).

The Gun Metal is close to the titanium but I'm thinking the red look best.

What do you lot think?







Does anyone have descent software to change the colour for a view on what it would look like. (I did a quick paint edit and I still think red).

Wheels look really good mate clap

I would go with Gun Metal centres as match in with the rest of the car being so sleek. What colour is your interior?

I'd go for the same colour as your wheels. Afterall, the nut looks like what it is - a crappy bit of stuck on plastic (well, that's what mine looks like).

The nuts are made from aluminium alloy. The colour is from anodising which is avaiable in a variety of colours,red,blue,gold,black and natural. I believe you can have them stripped and re-coloured but expect to pay a minimum order charge. Get some more people interested to reduce the cost perhaps?

They are on TSW website code is CN60(colour) and they do Blue, Red, Silver, Gun Metal and Black @ £10ea. I have a local anodizing place in portsmouth that I will ask about cost.

I don't want to get the red ones changed and then think they look better as they were. As I said, I did a quick photoshop with the Grey and Black and still thought Red was best. I was hoping someone had some decent software to do a pro job to give me a better idea (I'm sure Martin (jenx) has done something like that before).

Hey guys. It's late, and I was just off to bed, so I didn't do an ILM quality job... but you get the idea.

I think body colour works well,I had mine painted azure blue to match the body,and think that they contrast well on my gun metal wheels,you can see a photo of mine on my profile.
