More important question is what lacquer finish. Gloss, satin or Matt.

I was planning on lacquer finish but if i do decide to go a different colour then i may not. I cant find a good picture of this Indian racing gold, have you got a picture?

What lacquer finish? Gloss, matt or satin. Lacquer can be any of those 3.

Hi, Im all for keeping it in the original colour.

Looks terrific and blends well with the colour and shape of the car.

I always worry about highlighting the wheels too much, sort of takes the eyes away from the lovely colour and shape, which seems to be coming back into fashion.

Cant do better than the Honda designers who must have spent hours getting the colour combinations right!

OEM for me.

Just a thought.

Its going to be gloss lacquer and in standard colour i think. Ive had a bit of thought and think its the way to go. All i need to do now is finish prepping the centers and then go get the paint. Seems the forum is in agreeance with standard.

If the majority vote one thing, that's the best reason not to do it ;)

Be different! :D

Wheels are part of the car and can help distinguish it from the rest :)
