Nimbus. What colour wheels.

[Scott™]

Hi guys.

The Nimbus is going in for a full refurb all round. Having them powder coated as the two left wheels are severely curbed due to someone pulling out on me and having no option but to bail into the curb.

But I'm really undecided on colour. I love the standard Anthracite colour but I find it a bit flat at times, so not sure of something with a bit more sparkle to it or silver or even a little darker. Any suggestions?

A picture how it looked prior to the curbage.

Just go a bit darker on them I think that would look great

 

[Stefan.]

even though done to death think darker colour or even gloss black

 

[Scott™]

I must say, I'm definitely not interested in black in an way, shape or form.

 

[Will.]

Silver.

 

[Gaz_]

R27 with Silver wheels = fail.

O.E or slightly darker imo

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Wot... No Turinis ?!

 

[Scoot]

Black is the only colour that will look better than what they are currently imo.

 

[Nickson]

Easy!

Darker grey

 

[Kyly]

You need something to brighten the car a little, (without being chavvy). Silver is a really hard car to accessorise but you want the wheels to stand out a little rather than blend in? i think you should go a little darker but dont hit the verge of black...

 

[Scrooge]

Same colour as Nickson's.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Just don't wash the wheels....

 

[jenic]

I agree with the same as Nicksons, looks awesome.

Or black speedlines

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Get some Venoms.

BOOM.

1997 in yer face !

 

[Scrooge]

Lol @ venoms, or bk 299 that I shockingly see on a golf today looked well bad boy!

I was thinking a darker shade of Greg but not sure how dark. Amazing how that nimbus meggy looks a complete different colour.

May be because you are better with a camera than I am

 

[Scott™]

LOL no. Under different light it looks almost bronze/silver.

 

[dezmondo]

Like this?

Or:

 

[dezmondo]

Without the bit of red on the roof - oops!

 

[Stefan.]

^ that actually looks pretty good

 

[JCC]

As close to standard as possible.

 

[ch!ppen]

FLOL at red on the roof!

Slightly darker i'd say. Not too dark though.

 

[Scott™]

I like the darker grey. Thanks for that!!

 

[Scott™]

Could you also drop it a little? Say 35mm?

Thank you mate. That looks superb

 

[Christopher]

Yup. That's spot on.

Go!

[dezmondo]

I thought so too (although I secretly lliked the red too).

Be great to see it when done!

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Speedlines. Matt black.

 

[Scott™]

I dropped the wheels off this morning to be powder coated. I went for black.... But now I'm massively unsure. I haven't seen a nimbus with Black wheels

 

[Christopher]

Ooft. Risky choice. Gloss too?

 

[Toby]

Erm Scott?

 

[keechy]

Shouldn't look too bad, will they be done before the next meet Scott? I hate looking at black wheels in photos never do it justice imo.
