Well you've done one, may as well do the others and stick um on. Don't think I have ever seen wheels that colour before? Maybe a good reason for that though

Interesting mixed reaction, but I have a confession to make - the wheel pictured is one I designated as "scrap" during a refurb of a full set I was doing recently (another set of LE wheels for a friend with a Punto) as it had a chunk missing from the rim that had been filled with chemical-metal lurking under the previous refurb (not by me!) So, not wanting to risk anything I put it to one side not to be used. However, I was bored the other night and found a can of "light red metallic 108" I'd forgotten I'd bought so a quick couple of coats of primer, the red base and then wheel lacquer and hey-presto! I think it looks good on the wheel in isolation (although the picture above is as-painted before flatting & polishing properly), but I'm not sure it'd work on the car...might just bolt it on at the weekend anyway, take a piccie and photoshop in a tyre!

Oh, and I'm now considering fitting a glass top to make it into a coffee table or similar as I
love the shape & form of the standard 20VT wheel (don't tell anyone, but far more so than the Plus wheels...
) so wouldn't mind looking at it in my lounge every day
