Busa has black wheels, (not standard wheels though), on his yellow Coupé and I must say it looks really good. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I'm sure he'll be along shortly to show off... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Mine are dark too. you will need to change centre caps if you do go down this route. set of LE caps are around £28 from fiat.

I spotted a yellow coop with black wheels at Alton Towers on fireworks night last year. Hopefully this thread will bring you out as i never found out who it was <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

It looked really good btw. I've always thought black wheels make a car look 'hard'. Lotuses look great with them. I don't think it would suit a sprint blue coop though...

Come on, who was it on the old forum that used to go to town with photoshop?

Whenever someone made a suggestion like this, there were pictures of it in a few hours. It was great.

Can't help with a yellow Coupe I'm afraid, but here's my Sprint Blue with satin black standard wheels, if it's any good <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />.

As said above, Busa's Coupe is the one you need to have a look at. I'm sure he posted some photos recently.

I've changed my mind, that look the dog's danglies! How much is it to have them painted? Bet scuffs would show up a treat though <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I painted them myself for about 30-40 quid, but they were only really for track use and so I didn't spend a lot of time or effort on them <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />. I'm currently having them redone more professionally, but they will still be satin black <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />!

You're right about the scuffs though <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />, hence my choice of powder coating for the new finish, to see if it is more resilient <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />.

[color:"green"] You could stop spending more time than a girl pruning and cleaning yourself, but we don't keep telling you that <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />









Actually, maybe we do <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> [/color]

I had 3 of mine done for £135. That was refurb, coloured black and tyres off and tyres on. If your going to the pod on Saturday you'll be able to see them.

I'm aiming for 110 quid all-in (shot-blasting and powder coating), although they are also needing a little 'finishing' before I get them coated to make sure that I get a reasonable finish <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />.
