black chrome with "sport 2 flicks". cool

I just got my coupe back from The wheel specialist in Fareham after having them finished in the above colour and I have to say they look great! love I can't stop looking at them and I'm struggling to hold back the urge to lick them. lick

Only problem is I can't send a picture from my phone to my e.mail to host the pictures. Any ideas? Also my work phone only has a 2mp camera so I'm not sure it'll show the detail. frown

don't you have a data cable to connect your mobile to your PC?

or a memory card in your phone which you can put into a card reader on the PC?

I don't have a personal mobile (should do by next week) and I can't find all that gubbins for the company phone.

I've got a didi camera at home I'll get some pictures sorted then. wink

I just hope the detail shows up in a photo.

From a distance they look like a bright standard silver (I guess the silver flicks pick the light up) then a few yard away you start to see the dark colours inside the rim and along the spoke edges. I actually said to the receptionist they would look awesome on a black coupe. Oh and I’ve arranged to go back and get my filler cap sprayed the same if I can get the pin that holds the hinge together out (anyone know if it’s an easy job to remove and replace the pin?).

£288 that included a 15% discount which we can get at any branch across the country, for std colours it's £248.

I know there are places that do it cheaper but in the end I went for these as I hadn't heard one bad report and now I can't recommend these guys enough. I ended up chatting to the sprayer for around 20min when I dropped the coupe off talking about how each effect would look on our shape wheels. After that talk we decided that I wanted a lighter shade of the black chrome they do and that wasn't a problem (that's the "sport 2 flicks" making it lighter).

Excellent, can't wait to see them. I also recommend the Fareham branch of The Wheel Specialist, really nice people and high quality work smile

i used this company, branch in nottingham, and they were excellent in terms of the work they did but, more importantly, in customer service. i can't recommend them too highly and will be taking my plus there in the near future cool

Unfortunately the camera hasn't picked out the dark chrome and silver flicks very well but here you are anyway...
Wheel close up 1.
Wheel close up 2.
Side view.

I'm going to be doing the filler cap the same finish and think it will look really smart. cool
