    wheel colour

    Hey all.

    Looking to paint my stocko wheels, trying to decide on what colour

    Mk1's white.

    I was thinking -

    Silver/steel colour (original)
    Black
    or Gold on the inside, but leaving the lip silver.

    What'd you reckon?

    black was my inital thought (matt or gloss)

    Although i was partial (after seeing Jelly's one in the UK) about doing silver then spraying gold on the inside

    in the end i started the gold centre with silver on the outside. looked pretty good. then instead of buying silver paint i bought charcoal.... in the in its a mixture of charcoal and gold (looks ok!)
