my new rims!
bit like marmite really…
picked these babies up for ?230 off our trusty ebay, 1 rim was bent but i got it sorted for ?35 then polished like hell to get them gleaming.
plan was to paint the centers black like my old RAs but the gold is growing on me.. may leave them for a while as im skint but for the future
wot u reckon, gold, silver or black? :?

Gold on anything but sonic blue looks pants IMO. Black Porsches with gold splitties can sometimes pull it off. :roll:
Silver all the way. Respraying the centre caps is not an easy task. Might be best flogging them and investing in some original silverware.
Personally I like your wheels in your sig are they Design 90's :wink: cant see them that well. Are they Silver or a high powder finish? They look Schweeet!
I used to own a mk1 - well I've had 2 actually - YDU 720X & SMU 420Y. Currently I drive an 98 Scotia White Mitsubishi Evolution V RS…. fancy getting another mk1 someday

Just missed out on an auction at the weekend :cry:
I don't think the gold looks too bad, but i'd deffo go black rather than silver on a white car.
I love white cars with black rims, and a very slight tint to the glass.
