What colour wheels
Discussion
So my 2001 Mk3 Chimaera 450 is pale blue. Actually it's called Blue frost. Nearing the finishing touches on the youtube suspension rebuild, I am down to the wheels. They looked in good condition. Started to clean the insides of the rims with detergent & hot water + lots of elbow grease. 3 have come up very well. The 4th the front left looks like it has over many years had a brake fluid leak. Most of the inner rim paint was flaked off etc. I have now with the wire wheel got it all back to the clean alloy.
The tyres although in great condition are dated 2007 fronts & 2011 rears. I guess this is unaceptable & all need replacing. The Jury is out on which to go for, but will be good quality. Toyo Proxy is what is on there.
The question is. Do I have the tyres removed which my Daughters garage can do for me & have the wheels powder coated. The car being pale metalic Blue would a nice shade of gold look better than the origonal silver.
Not sure what to do. Any input greatly appreciated.
