Hi just thought id get your opinions of what colour to spray my wheels
they need a refurb so might aswell do it properly. i currently have white calipers and drums, im just about to put on some bigger disc's. ok not everyones going to like it, there 205 45 17's lowerd 40mm on the back, the front is standard for now, it sits nicely on the back, anyway heres some pic's i was either thinking black/grey or keep them white, or do them a crazy bright orange.
dont worry about the harness pads lol, there going, ive got harnesses ready to fit =]
pic's..

As Pete. Definately black but personally don't think they suit it IMO.

yes mate thats what ive got to do after a couple bits, as im doing my friend a favor im swapping my grey seats for his blue ones, and hes throwing in his harnesses aswell for nothing as hes got a green car he couldnt really have his blue seats in it, so thought thats fair enough, yeah theres a tiny 1.0 in there somewhere, but its hard to see at first. but with my own policy its £1450 :( so its staying that small for now. but its bin off the road (sorn) as its bin my project for the last year, still keep her running and that though, 45045 miles on the clock, nearly rust free, but its a nova so teres a couple bits of rust about the size of a 10p

Black or grey IMO, but paint the bumpers and skirts the same colour. And lose the mesh!

They do seem to stick out a fair bit on the front, has that passed an MOT with them on?

yeah i was thinking a darker colour would make the white brakes stand out better, not yet thats another thing i will need to sort out, is there anything i can do except for putting wide arches on? yeah was going to do the skirts and rear bumper black as i like the look of raymonds nova, but i need a gte bumper to spray lol, but thats more jobs i got to do to it. yeah i will be on the look out for another grille, but all the other bits ive got to do have bin costing a fair bit aswell as keeping my bike on the road, cheers for the opinions

paint them see through so no one can see them as they are nasty looking wheels. Get rid of them and get some mk2 astra GTE wheels. They would look perfect on your car with it being a mk1
