New Paint . Thoughts on wheels???

[Stokebloke1]

Picked her up yesterday , not sure if I should change the wheels/wheel colour??

Super happy with the work, the car was a mess before..

Would like to see a side on image but I think they suit the colour well.

Lovely paint colour and looks fab.
Not sure black wheels go either. Does look stealth-like though.

If you want something similar to the original wheels: https://www.wheelbasealloys.com/alloy-wheels/autec...

I've been tempted by these for my Griff (light red): https://www.wheelbasealloys.com/alloy-wheels/japan...

Maybe live with it for a bit...?
I think it looks decent with the black hood.

I've just had my wheels stripped and powder-coated to match the original silver, after the poorly done paint version of a refurb (previous owner) showed itself to be soft and marked easily.
Cost £84 per wheel including tyre fitting and balancing (they even dealt with a little corrosion that was hiding under the paint), which might be a way to go - they can of course do different colours in the powder coat world.

I hate black wheels personally but that's just my subjective view.
I'm not a fan of the current fashion for black on black.

Mine came with Estoril’s…


but I replaced them with Imola’s…


Front tyre choice on the original 15’s are limited. I went for Continental Ultra Contact all round.

Where did you get the paint work done? Looks brilliant.

I personally insisted on my car having Imolas when I bought it, it was the image in my head from when I was a teenager!

I also still have the 15" on the front, and changed from Uniroyal Rainsports to Kumho, just as a trial really, though I was very happy with the Uniroyals.
But as you say, tyre choices are comparatively limited, but not prohibitively.

Those wheels look great to me. Colour is a personal thing. For me dark wheels work on some cars & not on others.
My current wheels... Rota Grid 2



My previous Chim with Satin Black Compomotives...

Gold or white wheels, or body colour spokes with a polished rim if they're dishy.
