Why don't you do all the wheels in different colour? As its only for winter.

Red, yellow, blue and green. All different and bright.

the civic wheels look quite bronze. witch would be similar to the mugens. Plus I'm not sure the bronze would be too much on the fatter face of the sawblades.
Think I'm leaning to the Gunmetal still

I tried to do something a wee bit different with mine as i knew that i was gonna do it on the cheap, and that if it went wrong, or didn't last, that i could re-do them again, cheap :lol:

I achieved this with rattle cans only:

Mainly black to hide the worst of the dirt but coloured the inserts to brighten them up a bit.

Still holding up fine but admittedly not had a really severe frost to deal with yet :D

Ta! :lol:

It is rather good, considering the wheels were totally corroded and badly kerbed :twisted:

Colour scheme may not suit a black car but a wee bit of imagination with the inserts and it could look cool 8-)
