I have an idea... yes or no???
Tuesday, January 16, 2007 2:53 PM
Ok, I just finished polishing the lip and the face of the spokes on my 18s. They were just painted silver before. I also really like the look of bronze wheels, so i had an idea. What if i painted between the spokes bronze??? I cant make up my mind if i think it would look good. Just wanted some other opinions.






So who thinks bronze and who thinks leave them silver???

Are you talking about the indentation in each spoke, or the depth of the spoke on either side? Either way, it'd add a detail that would be hard to miss. Definitly a classy idea, but lots of labour. Photoshop it.

I was thinking just the sides of the spokes not the mark in the middle of the spokes. But the more I look at it i think that it might look funny with a silver car C/F hood, C/F tails, with polished and bronze on the wheels. Might be too many different colors.

I don't Know.

Think up a way to tie it all together. Bronze striping? Bronze 'product/sponser' decals? I think it'll look really good. I love wheels with personal details like that. You know nobody else has the same set of wheels as you, finished the way you have done it. Dare to be different. lol.

i dont think bronze on your car would thrill me that much but its your ride. i'd have someone photoshop them and then see if you still like it.

Well after looking at it more and I messed around Photoshop with it a little I think i am gonna stay with they are now.
I thought about doing them all in bronze but after I spent around 5 hours sanding per wheel plus polishing I dont really want to just paint over that.


Thanks for your opinions!

I love bronze wheels, but don't do it. I don't think it will fit your car at all...

Like i said I decided I spent too much time sanding and polishing them too paint anything, so I am gonna leave them the way they are.

Thanks again.
