well lads, so ive split my wheels and am going to get the centres sand blasted, i need to decide on a color, at the moment there the original gold, which is nice, but i think some other colors would look better, so its either silver, black or ...??

heres a pic of the car as it was with the gold, the reason i stripped them was the paint was flaking badly on the wheels!!!

Can ye get someone to photoshop a couple different colours, imo you'll ruin the look if you go for some strange colour

Doubt he'll go for a crazy colour. Photoshop silver and black. Anything else will look retarded

Not mad on the silver, it looks too boring.
If it was me I'd redo them gold, but a nice strong gold, not the buttery gold they are now

was goin to suggest the same as this, if you could get a nice bronze i think they would look well.

thinking either a similar gold but maybe metalic, or bronze, but does anyone no anywhere that does chroming?? might b a nice option !

dont think theres anywhere in ireland that does it, uk would be your best bet. chrome would look the business though if you do get it done.

edit: just remembered the bolts for my bbs were rechromed by this fella, seems like he does a decent job

Defo gold or antracite, black wont show up right unless very glossy finish imo!
