Default My New 18" Red PFF7's

Hey guys, i had my PFF7's sprayed the same colour as my car, while it was being done i was thinking that i had made a mistake and that it would make my car look boy racer cheezy bollocks,

But, the pictures dont do them justice, they look great, everyone loves them, loads of head turning,

These pics were taken straight after getting my tyres fitted so lack tyre shine and a good wipe down, i will get more pics up when i clean them up

I agree. Sorry but don't like them, reckon it would have looked better anthracite or black. But just my opinion. As long as you're happy right.

lol, i reckon if you saw them in the flesh you would change your mind

Gold, black, alcantara and white

Has anyone got any other colour wheels other than those?

The red make a nice change from the usual

Keep the comments coming though

There must be a fan

I think its looks alright, maybe the car and wheels would suit a different colour paint job altogether?? that red reminds me of sierra cosworths and granada's for some reason. But i think it looks nice still.... fair play mate...its different and uve achieved that

I'm not keen either mate to be honest. Maybe black/anthracite with the red lip? Each to their own though, as long as you like it, who cares?

I used to have red wheels on my blue newage, hated them after a while. Gone back to gold now.

Not my cup of tea matey.

Needs lowering and a splitter.

Its hard to rock something like that in the UK.

If it was stateside you'd pull it off easy.

Im on the fence on this one i think.

Its already lowered on eibachs all round, not that theres much difference, in the amount of lowering or handling, i dont want to go any lower because then i will have to have the arches grinded as they will start to scrub,

I agree, i do need a splitter for it, thats my next part to go on,

What the pictures dont show is the quality of the finish on the wheels, they are better than the cars 7 year old paint work and look really good on or off the car, honestly everyone who has seen them in the flesh has loved them,

Im using the new goodyear asymetics too and all i can say after 100 miles is that they are great, turn is is better than the toyo T1R and the steering feels loads lighter, they are the best tyres i have had yet

Im going to get it detailed so it should look even better then

Keep the comments coming,

But thats what i needs mate, some coliovers and some arch rolling.

Thats how you can make the most of coloured wheels. Reason being is that its mainly done on race cars and JDM street and TA cars. Theyre all decked and thats why they look so good.

money money money

The car is getting on a bit now, its 2001, last of the classics but still getting on, not sure if i can justify throwing much more money at it,

Its only just hit 42000 miles so i might sell it this summer while its still low mileage, im undecided

Not to my taste, although with the colour youve gone with anthracite wheels would have set it off nicely for me.

Looks good but I agree with some of the comments above. Black with the red lip would look amazing just an idea

Dont forget guys, im trying to avoid the chav boy racer look

Smooth and subtle is the way forward, i agree wiht the need for it to be lowered a bit more and the front splitter, i also may be inclined to fit splash guards to make the side skirts a bit more chunky

but carbon bonnets, i have never liked the idea of them, to me it makes it look as if your original bonnet has been damaged and replaced with the wrong colour scrap yard special ready for painting

Keep them coming though

I think you've hit that margin line between chavness and whats considered decent. But hey if you like it then thats all that matters.
