Opinions please by MrTom on Mon Jan 17, 2011 1:12 am
Hi Guys,

Managed to get chance to fit one of the wheels my missus got me for my birthday (the ones Ash kindly sent down )

The size difference is quite a bit :twisted:
Image

But Colley is helping me fit a 2" susspension lift next week and I'm going to wait till then to fit them but wasn't sure whether to paint the wheels or leave them as they are? I was thinking black but after putting one on the truck they dont look so bad and white makes gives them presence. What do you lot think?

Image

Finally, the line leading down from your fuel filler cap:

Image

Has that ever fouled your wheels?

Looking forward to what you have to say.

Cheers :wink:

Tom

Re: Opinions please by Mr Mud on Mon Jan 17, 2011 3:48 pm
I'm going with king of the Kitchen on this one, definitely anthracite it's a very smart colour and wont show the dirt so much, the white is to in yer face :wink: :wink: also the truck is already smart with the black and silver, so if you combine the two colours you've got :?: yes you guest it "anthracite" :dance: and if you get the paint knocked up in a paint shop you could add a bit more silver or black till you get the right tint.

Back in the day when I've painted wheels, we would cut out a round piece of hardboard about the same size as the wheel and paint that, and then just stand it next to the truck, it will give you some idea how it will look.
