six appeal 53 Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 You forgot the poll on there about selling them to me! ;o) Link to post Share on other sites
schrickvr6 0 Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 I would say body colour or black, weird but i just had a conversation about the exact same thing with my mate tony...who just bought your oz's lol Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Steve 0 Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 There is also a vote section missing saying "Sell to VR6Steve for 50p" :-)Keep the centres silver painted and polish the rims. Might also be worth considering resale opportunities if you decide to change your wheels in the future, especially if you colour code them to your car? Link to post Share on other sites
alivr6 0 Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 well choose your pick, i reckon you should paint them the same as the body colour coz they will look phat Link to post Share on other sites
alivr6 0 Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 oh and finish them off with gold bolts! Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Steve 0 Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 The Westside green Rallye looked its ususal awesome self today at E38 with its Schmidts colour coded. But then I have a thing for green Rallyes! :-) Link to post Share on other sites
rudedubber 0 Posted September 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 lol at six and vr6 steve, shrick funny me and tony ALSO had that conversation lol he's a top bloke, hope hes happy with them. well guys at the minute i am leaning towards body colour, ali like the gold bolts idea but cant really afford to do it just yet. what do you guys reckon to polishing the centres? to much ? lets hear more views and a few have already voted for this (polished centres that is) thanks to everyone for there input so far Link to post Share on other sites
eViL 0 Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 Dude.. did you need spacers for your Schmidts? If so, where you get em?I'm struggling for hubcentrics at the mo. Link to post Share on other sites
rudedubber 0 Posted September 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 evil, i have been told i might need some on the front but havent tried them yet? Link to post Share on other sites
eViL 0 Posted September 8, 2004 Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 might? Dude.. they won't get anywhere near the hub without spacers.I'm looking for 16mm just for decent clearance, thats with the calipers shaved. Link to post Share on other sites
rudedubber 0 Posted September 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2004 what et are your fronts ? mine are 21 Link to post Share on other sites
eViL 0 Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Honestly? I have no idea.. but I'm running 288mm calipers which are substantially chunkier. Link to post Share on other sites
albinoDUB 1 Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 black centers gold bolts and polished rim Link to post Share on other sites
rudedubber 0 Posted September 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 like your style albino but cant afford gold bolts thanks again to everyone. i must say i am suprised how many voted to repaint them silver? i have narrowed it down to bodycolour or completely polished as i think silver will be a bit boring on a mystic blue car ? lets have some feedback on going the whole way with the polishing ? cheers Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Steve 0 Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Its a whole lot more polished surface to keep nice and shiney? Link to post Share on other sites
rudedubber 0 Posted September 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 good point but i was thinking if i have them body colour they will show up any chips easier? still not sure but got to decide soon! Link to post Share on other sites
rudedubber 0 Posted September 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 ok, decided on body colour and hand ploished rims. watch this space Link to post Share on other sites
eViL 0 Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 I found someone that does spacers and Schmidt bits btw. Link to post Share on other sites
rudedubber 0 Posted September 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 evil, are you going to share ? just took mine apart and took the centres in to be sprayed body colour, but i think yours will be on first. i have to get the rims sent off for polishing then spacers then tyres !! cant afford it all yet costing around £180 for spraying, £120 for polishing, £350 for tyres then spacers!!! donations welcome by the way Link to post Share on other sites
