Hello All!

I'm about to go into getting a set of 18's for the cooper, but i just can't decide what color and finish to put on the wheel! These are a set of 1 piece forged. I ordered the wheel without the rivets. I figure, cleaner look and gets rid of rivets that were just there for show anyhow!

Here's the pix:



Right now my toss up is between a flat black, flat bronze, finished bronze, gunmetal, shot peened black, shot peened gunmetal, shot peened bronze.

FYI Shot peening is a process kinda like sandblasting. It leaves a rough finish, but allows for more surfaces to reflect, adding a sparkle and flat look at the same time.

 

These are some nice Choos...

 

lol~ yeah i misspelled the thing... didn't want to delete the thread and make another

 

edit: title fixed!

 

What colour is your car?

 

Sorry to poke fun. I couldn't resist.

IMO, just say no to rivets!

 

it is a chili red with white roof. I plan on getting a tint all around.

 

CR looks nice with white or black, so a nice shot peened black would make it really nice

that said, if you REALLY want to be unique, u can try colored wheel like a glossy red, something that matches the CR on your car

 

D' we git to see d' caw dem purty wheels is goin' on?

 

No harm done! Yes i agree, say no to rivets! (unless they are functional~ like holding the hull of the titanic together ) Yeah the rivets should be saved for the actual 2 and 3 piece wheels.

 

Sure! let me hunt around for a pix...

 

Ahh, i see that you're speaking from the dark side!...err dark with polished lip side that is~

 

only pix i have are from when i first got her~



she's a bit dirtier now

 

How about this? This is the wheel I lust after. Also comes in black - if you went that way, maybe you need to checker your roof & mirrors. It is a Rota GT3.

 

Those red rims look sweet! I'm partial to pulling a color from the car for wheel color.
