Can someone do me some wheel darkening examples?

Featured Replies

Thinking of a refurb on my Ibiza alloys, along with a possible colour change. Can anyone spare a couple of minutes to knock up some examples of what the change would look like? At the moment I'm thinking of either a bright silver with perhaps a metallic fleck? Alternatively, a steel/gunmetal grey? The car's silver. Any other ideas are welcome too :D

I've uploaded a decent hi-res (8MP) side-on image here

Thanks for any help :thumbup:

Can't help you with the 'shop but I have seen those alloys in dark grey and they looked awesome. I think they'd look good on a silver car!

Dark grey looks better, bright silver looked cac so I gave up on that one.attachment.php?attachmentid=11667&stc=1&d=1161811016

I'd go a lot darker, they just look dirty imho!

A crude job by me, I resized it to make life easier for working on the image!:o

:iagree:

Possibly a touch darker still would look good. :thumbup:

Your wish is my command . . . two different versions, one slightly darker and the other darker still.

Hmmm, decisions decisions.

Just have them done in black chrome and be done with it! :rofl:

The first one you posted Yashicamat was the best one. The other's are too dark.

Thanks for these guys - keep up the good work! Anyone got any other suggestions? :)

What do people think to the brilliant silver with metallic fleck idea?? :rubchin:

Yeah, I probably like Rob's first effort the most out of the ones posted up so far. How would you describe the finish on the wheels do you think?

I should be getting some 17" Audi TT Competition alloys back next week, finished in Platinum Grey.

I'll post some pics up when I do.
