well finally got my alloys on the car yesterday ive added a few pics would of had more but the batteries died in my camera.
ive got 195/50/15 tyres on but the fing is i cant have any passengers in the back as i found out 2day because the rear tyres catch the little lip on the arches.

Does look good with the wheels - even better when lowered.
(1st pic) I thought you'd had an accident at a quick glance.

Powdercoat is a much harder finish for the wheels, so it will be much better wearing. I think white would look good with the red but you'll be cleaning them all the time!

mite get a price on getting them powder coated then, or i'll just spray them at my dads workshop with 2pac for free.

iv got a set of tsw's out side which im going to do white and use them for spares or summin or if i fancy a change.

Just normal spray can paint stays on wheels fine, so proper air fed spray gun should be fine.
Watch that 2pak tho, tis nasty stuff.
