...Bright rim colour on Octavia FL?

[NSWRS]

Well unfortunately today my missus scratched our brand new rims - not much I could really say. Gutted lol. Anyway, so I've gotta get them fixed but have always been thinking about getting them all sprayed up in a "unique" colour.

So what are peoples thoughts on the pic below - feel free to photoshop any other colours in

Bit of a dodgy photoshop - the red would be alot more vibrant and the car is going to be a liftback

Wow i like that, really suits the car. How about doing a photoshop of some porsche orange wheels?

[rob_e]

looks great.

:yes:

[zeffania]

I like em

[oobster]

Me too.

I hope your missus is going to make up for the upset caused in "interesting" ways!

Hideous.

Looks like a Halfords special, just try a grey tint to the wheels or white.

sorry guys im part of the dislike gang....never likes bright/luminous wheels though.

Huge fail I'm afraid but each to their own

Bimma?

Cringe. Really. Black, gunmetal, dull steel, silver or chrome if you like, but not this. Maybe something like black with a coloured coach line around the edge, but not this, no, no, no...

I like it. It worked well on my mate's A3...

Oooooooh no it didn't ! Hideous again :-)

[ndicki]

It's still bloody awful!

[Evening Star]

YUCK!

You spoilt a nice car.

i like that dark red colour it looks great against the dark grey,do it!

the audi definitely is not hideous thats a harsh description even if you dont like it, if they were fluorescent pink then yes!

[foo]

If red wheels attracts the sort of attention that Audi seems to be attracting I would pass.

[meta55]

if you told me about them then i would say no, but now i have seen them i think there ok and suit the dark colour car.

[dainott]

Im not really a crazy colour wheels man but i really like the dark metalic red on the gunmetal.

Totally up to you though

[Tonyp5a]

Top Gear this month have a feature with a Noble in Black with similarly dark red wheels and I recon that looks great.

Wouldn't do it myself on the Octavia, but I can understand the attraction.

[alkip]

Like that, like it a lot

I'm considering something a bit radical for my winters.

I did a photoshop a few months back which is uncannily similar in terms of the colour I got to compared to yours on page 1.

Ignore the silly size.. i'm currently trying to get a set of suitable 18" to paint up and run as my winter set.

... or maybe a brighter colour might work better against the white, like say a 996 GT3RS?

[silvercupra]

How about black chrome

[kerrbryan]

DONT DO IT!
