Now do i re-do them in white or go for Black ?

I do like the white on white look but am thinking about the cleaning of them i have to do to keep them looking white,so if i went black,since they go black anyway with the dust etc ....... Hmm

The wheel ( i do have 2 Mcguard locks per wheel now not this crap one i had at the time LOL)



the current look

 

the white does suit the car mate but cleaning

 

white looks fresh

 

keep em white thats what im changing mine too !

 

White looks good, I would only change to a grey, not black, don't think black would suit your car unless you add a few other black bits of detail

 

Hi there you are really need Mcguard locks.But these wheels look nice,i like these wheels.
Great job
I have white powder coated wheels and keeping clean these wheels is crazy(you will see )

The white looks good - have you had any issues with them going yellow/dirty looking, I've heard that this is a problem with white powder coated wheels, I was thinking about getting mine repainted rather than powder coated

 

white m8

 

Cheers for the input guys,i too was swaying to keeping them white LOL



Yes,in some places there are tindges of yellow,hence the re-do of them,didnt realise it was a powder coating issue,just presumed they had a hard life LOL

to do them powder coated round here is £120,i might see if i can get a quote to paint them rather than powder coat,see what the £££ difference is

cheers

 

I paid over £200 to get mine painted last time, but that was short notice and I didn't have time to shop around. Powder coating is £160 here, but I need to get some quotes - maybe even see if I can get them done as a part of my respray

 

photoshop them black to see what you prefer

 

i sprayed my standard "gun metal" civic type r alloys white myself had no issues at all with them turning yellow . saves u alot of money but does take a while !

 

white everytime!

 

Hi Jon i have powdercoated white mine 6 months from Maggs and i'm impressed, no cracks,no yellow or something similar.£160 for 4 wheels powder coated,its just bargain of year,we are now thinking to powder coat to Titanium....


Jura

 

I just got my wheels today which are Black
Gonna have them powdercoated Gold but will see what the car looks like on Black first and get some Before and after pics....as you do
Oh and white looks good on ya car mate, bugger to clean i bet but worth it

Defo white IMO.

Have you got a company in mind to powdercoat them.

Greersport Racing charge £160 for 4 wheels. Bargain

Jura

Thank you for your enquiry, we are pleased to quote as follows:

17” WHEELS – TO BE PREPARED FOR PAINTING AND TO BE PAINTED WHITE @ £30 EACH

 

That's what I paid up here for my 17's...

Black is a pain, you need to keep the tyres spotless, or they look drab and grey.

Mine are either going a crazy colour, or a really nice extra sparkly metalflake silver...

dunx

 

If i was local,this are even cheaper !!!
