Due to some crap driving on my part I need to get my wheels slightly re-furbished
I’ve always liked black wheels and was thinking of getting mine painted black at the same time

What do you think?
(my Spyder is the same colour/wheels as this one)


BTW this car was an SP Engineering project car on LPower

I think it would be cheaper to spend the money on driving lessons on parking before you have them refurbed

Have a look at the photos I've posted on Lambo-power under the Gallardo section, same company that did Simon G's did mine, colour matched the factory perfectly. BUT - OK it's £200, however the paint is so so soft, you have to be very carefull

another helpful comment from steve f there...

go for it but dont touch the headlights as they have done on that car.

i'm going to do the same when i tire of silver callistos, but graphite rather than jet black.

if you go for black i'd go for a matt black rather than a glossy finish which looks a bit max power IMHO.

but whatever way you look at it, its a very cheap mod that can transform the look of the car.

D, I know you use your Spyder. If you fancy black, go for it. Just bear in mind that as soon as the brake dust settles the wheels won't look anywhere near as good as the ones in the pic. Good luck.

dark wheels look fantastic on most cars EXCEPT red cars in my opinion

I'm not sure, I think I might wait a bit and get black wheels on my black 430 instead

I just had mine done in titanium after I kerbed one. send me an email and I will send you a before and after
picture. They look awesome. Saw a yellow one with black wheels and it looked rubbish though - you will regret it.
