I did a photoshop for Sumpcracker and he would like to know what colour to go for? For the centres of the Borbet's!

Ive seen a lot of black tourers on borbet As, they need painting anyway as the centres are wellcrusty, my as well be different, silver not an option. :mad:

Im not seeking an oem look or a gangstarrrr look, infact ive noticed the safe bruvs now dont like it at all which is good.

All very retro now, old skool...

Silver is for classic looking wheels in the E30's case, whereas Borbet A's imo can look a little dull in silver, and a nice bright colour would really set them off! :eek:

Blue ftw....

My vote goes to the green ones. Very eye - catching, and somehow makes the black look even blacker. :cool:

i like the flouro orange or green, even though both are being done quite a bit at the moment.

i think the green works better on a metallic black car, it makes the paint look a cooler darker grey/black. orange look good on their own but tend to highlight a warmer, more brown tint to the paint and seem to work better on normal gloss black.

sounds odd i know, but having had both on my own metallic black car i think the green made the car look better overall even though i prefered the orange wheels :mad:
cheers,

harry

Go for orange, then paint a few small details/parts on the car in the same colour.

Green looks awesome, black and neon green is a brilliant colour scheme, and something I'd use if I had an E30 drift/drag/track barge.
Not in E30s any more :(
