nick_d OP My life on the forum Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 1,829 kidderminster	As car is going to be stuck on the ramps for a few days decided I want to change the appearance of the wheels! At the moment they are just highly polished with no laquer on them so they get shitty really quick... Basically want to change the colour of the wheels but KEEP the polished rim of the wheel then obviously laquer over all of it! Any ideas? Saw a coup same colour as mine today with white wheels that looked really cool, would white with a polished rim work? I'm struggling to put up pics of how the wheels currently look so if anyone can help me out, you can find pics in a post titled "blitz blue to electric blue".... Thanks.... Nick 368bhp @ 1.5 bar

Then also thought about a dark metal colour still with polished rim?? If someone can post up a pic of my car from that mentioned thread above, then maybe some very nice person can do a lttle PHOTO SHOPING for.... Pretty please? Nick 368bhp @ 1.5 bar

AZEV wheels are no longer available, so keep hold of them as they are the only wheels that really suit the coupe IMO. www.Poweritalia.com - The UK's leading Fiat Coupe Specialist

sparkyman Unregistered S	I went for silver with a light sparkly affect which you don't really see unless you look "very" close when the sun is right or your just happen to be lucky when you look at it, which is very rare.
