Thoughts on black alloys on a grey Ibiza?

[a11y]

Baised for a good reason though

The place doing this only has basic colours and tbh I'm not wanting an uber pimp finish.

might as well push the boat out tho mate..if your getting them done..then do em special

 

[a11y]

That's my thoughts. Although they're badly needing a refurb - some horrendous scrapes/dings. All from the previous owner I might add LOL. Was OK though, I used it to bargain and got £200 off the price for a refurb at the time, just never gotten around to getting them done til now...

same colour as the side strips, and get the side strips glossed for polishing

Yep grey gets my vote...but i am a bit biased.

How about a grey basecoat with a silver fleck in the lacquer? That way in strong sunlight the wheels will look sort of silver..

Or how about grey inside the egde of the spokes with a polished face? A member on here has done it with his Leon FR wheels and it looks amazing. I was going to try a polished face...but going down to the bare metal would show up old curb marks etc.

You mean these, I looove these and your wheels the best!

Brighten your monitor, its quite a dark pic and is supposed to show stealthy goodness

It certainly does that Red Rummer! Are they done black magic?? I just ask cause the colour seems to flip a bit from black to silver or it could just be the pics Looks ssssnice.

A11y my votes for hyper silver - nice, bright and shiny. And i 100% agree with Sir Mixup if your going to do them, do them right and pimp them up!

Nah, not black magic mate. I mixed up some black powdercoating with Iriodin Mica Pearl Satin Flake which leaves a silver sheen and flips from black to anthracite to silver in different light. Just gives it that added something

veezee kindly did a few photoshops of my wheels in different colours: http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=182041

and I think I'm decided on bright silver. Yep, playing it safe perhaps, but I'm going to go for a pretty bright shade which should work well with dark grey paintwork .

bright will make then look bigger too, which is always good!

hey, did you ever get your wheels done at williams powdercoats? any pics?

 

[Ksalmi]

My S3 alloys colorcoded to match the cupra-bumbers anthracite plastic bits, and im loving it..

 

[kris_tdi]

Mine with Wheels same colour as the car (they are a bit dirty, the back is a spare one so ignore that)

Yep, got them done a few weeks ago, pics in this thread (pics about half-way down):

Very happy with them. Not perfect - I would've liked to get my hands on them to smooth down a few bits of the wheels, but I'm a perfectionist - but a very good job. I'd recommend them if you're local. He charged me £150 to do all 4 wheels including tyre removal and refitting/balancing, but that was a special rate I think because I've put him in touch with my father-in-law who's used him about half a dozen times in the past month or so.
