What colour for Refurb Motegi's

Post by Lovedoctor » Tue Mar 26, 2013 11:41 pm

Having removed the Motegi's at the weekend and placed a set of 16' Civic Alloys on instead I have already made the decision I want to get the Motegi's Refurbed as soon as possible - on the 16's the car just looks as if its a moon buggy!

What colour should I go for. My car is a metallic Green (Fiscus Green Pearl Clearcoat G-98P) and wondering what peoples thoughts are. It will be a long tern colour so 'fad' colours are not an option. Should I stay with the brighter silver Powdercoat or go Gun Metal or even black?

Silver or a dark silver. Maybe not as dark as gunmetal

Silver. 90 percent of the time anything else looks gash.

Bronze :think: now there is a thought. Was at the wheel refurbishes discussing it yesterday.
Sat an Anthricite Beemer wheel against the car but didn't really float my boat. Bro in law just got his 19' CTR Rage wheels back done in Satin Black and that colour was nice against the Fiscus. Think it will be either that or a sparkle silver :)

Buddy depends on your taste, I'd have said bronze if your a little blingy,,, but I'm having mine anthracite next time I have them done..... Anthracite looks timelessly cool.

Correct mate. I am asking for peoples thoughts on colours that would suit the Green paintwork - not what i should do to pacify a new fad or whatever. Don't care if its been done to death - as long as it works :lol:
