Painted or not?

I have recently bought a Vec GSI 03 plate and it has the standard wheels on it, i was thinking of just getting the wheels refurbed and painted black, as i have a silver car. what does everyone think?

or should it be aftermarket wheels?

I think black wheels on any car spoils the car and dark silver/grey wheels just looks like they havn't been washed for a long time.

My sentiments exactly.

And when the car is being driven it looks like steel wheels without hub caps lol

I do like them being a dark grey, hides the brake dust.

With those wheels though I don't think they'd suit it. Either refurb in the original colour or see what inspires you on www.wheel-whores.com

get them powder coated gloss black they will last much longer than paint





thats my old sri

Excactly
But black wheels with the outer part polished or chrome would look nice on your silver car Lee

Thing is, when you see a pre facelift with them wheels on you know not to play with it (well not on the straights ) Aftermarket wheels could just be a 1.8...............

How does powder coating stand up to tyre changes... Fancy it doing to mine, but the place that does it doesn't change the tyres for you... I can see the inevitable happening
