what wheels? gallardo!

[georged]

I've finally got my hands on some callitso wheels, im really happy with them but not sure what i should do, keep them the colour they are or get them put back to all silver? Took some pictures yesterday as i was fitting them, haven't got the center caps yet but should have them this week.

After


One of each

Keep them as they are and take the lambo shields off

Is it standard for Gallardos to only have a badge on one wing? :/

When i took the picture i had only put one side on and changed one of the indicators so i could compare sides.

with a yellow car titanium rims are a must, whether its callisto or cassiopea (spelling???). Whatever you do definitely change them from how they look now as I think they detract from the car

Hi george ,

I think the diamond cut outer edge is spoiling the look of the dark wheels imo .

I could not decide from just the couple of pics , black and dark colour wheels normaly work very well against the yellow and orange colours on gallardos and the fact there is matt black grills and trims all over the car usually matches well , i think thats why the polished wheel lip stands out for me and looks slightly odd.

Of course yellow brakes would look good behind dark wheels thou

I have not forgot george just really busy at the mo .

Thanks for your opinions, i think im swaying towards the idea of having them put back to the original silver colour at the moment.
Thanks kelly, im still interested in the yellow calipers so let me know when your not so busy and we can look into it a bit more.

George i do know where there are set of callitso in silver at the moment very close in distance to me gives you a chance to compare with your car there .
I will email you tomorrow about timings etc .

Got sir marks brakes to repaint halfway through cleaning process, will let you know when they are done so you can have a look too


Pac mans Murci is very close to finished and well worth popping in to have a nose at that and sort your wheel colour doubts out at the same time

Ok thanks kelly, sounds good to me, email me tomorrow then to sort out timings and i will take a ride over to you.
Thanks

George good to see you today

Here are some pics i have found on the net , to back up what i said to you that black or dark wheels on your car would look good

Both types of wheels but i think the non split rims (early wheels) look better in black .











hope this helps

black.

anthracite is by far the best colour for wheels.

[Sarnie]

Anthracite all the way

[hy789]

don't go with black - titanium/anthracite is the best option

[georged]

Good to meet you the other day kelly, thanks for the pictures.
Think your right, dark wheels definatly would look good on my car as its yellow.
Will have to do some thinking and hopefully get something done in the new year.

Hi George,

I dont know if you saw my wheels on murcie when you met kelly on thursday.

What i can say is i would defo recommend lepsons - the quality of the finished product is outstanding

I've got lepsons now doing other wheels of mine

Hi pacman,

Yes i see your car at kelly's the other day, it looked amazing! as did the work that kelly had done!
Thought your wheels suited your car perfect too. Think i will be going for a similar colour by lepsons in the new year some time.
Im from bulphan in essex, are you from this way too then?

[ineedagallardo]

Another thumbs up for lepsons - They are amoung the best in the buisness.

Your wheels will be returned looking brand new.
