E30 Zone

Been having issues with the tyres going down on 3 wheels, which is down to the previous owner having the wheels welded in a couple of places. These have been chucked and now have a similar set fitted, but in silver. Thinking of getting these painted up in white.

What about black?

looks nice as it is

with the white wheels on before they looked pretty good with the red. i was also thinking black as i prefer that colour wheel, but thinking the white might be better with the red.

I've got the same wheels on my "white car" painted "gloss black" (in my avater <<)

Black would look nice on your car cos like mine, it will go with the bump strips, window trim ect but.... White would look awsome with the red

I've always thought of white wheels as more of a rally thing - Ford/Peugeot-Citroen kinda stylé... IMO

Paint them a dark graphite colour, my old 17" alpina reps were done like this and looked the nuts on my zinnobar red E30... I stupidly didn't take any photo's

I have to agree with cee, white is a bit rally spec for your tidy more door.

Graphite would really suit it

yeah i agree with a dark colour, so have gone for black.

get the pics up then

yeah will do this weekend.

May be a bad photo, but I can barely see the rims!

U won't be able to from that angle! From proper side on you would see them better, but tey do look good. How many coats of laquer did you apply?

I think Silver looked better. Only my opinion though.

didnt the fact that the old wheels had cracked and needed welding not put you off getting another set the same?

i have to say i think they looked better in silver

I agree!

Sorry but i'm also jumping on the silver band wagon. Regardless, they still look nice though, make it look aggressive.

I agree, I just didn't wanna be rude lol. It does make it look aggressive though

i did like the silver, but just wanted to try a different colour.

harry_p: the previous owner could have done anything to have cracked the wheels, so not that bothered if they are the same. i say if, because i bought 5 second hand wheels same sizes etc but i think different makes

black makes them look un noticable, makes the car look dull really

Just need to strip it out and weld a cage in now

Yeah, first bit has been done, just has the driver seat in at the moment. Maybe a cage to follow in the future.
