EP3 Wheels on my ATR - Colour Dilema

They look mint mate I think you made the right choice with them over white

^ +1 on that. Is it a specific colour or just a colour (if that makes sense)?

White on black does look good but only if it's the right combo of car and wheels... I don't think black ATR and white EP3 wheels would've been a winning combo.

I just pointed and said "i'll have them like that please".

Perhaps may have been a bit darker if i did them myself, I will see how they look when they are on, but i'm pleased so far. I think it is one of those colours that looks darker depending on how the light catches it, so hopefully will be fine.

Nothing like coming off the fence after the decision's been made Donald!

Pretending you were right all along after something's been proven to be right is the only way to be right IMO.

Had a go at colour matching the centre caps yesterday -

After roughing up with a bit of wet and dry...

Primer

Gloss black base

Halfords "Steel" wheel paint - looked like a reasonable guess on the colour

Lacquer

Needs sanding & polishing to finish, then new decals, but not too bad by the looks of things
