Wheel Refurb - WOW!!

[Erni902]

Not on my VR4 but on the Zed. Got a lovely set of wheels on her (Forgestar F14's in 19") but they are matte black and have curb damage which just let the whole look of the car down. A couple of days before Japfest I decided that something needed to be done! First of the cub damage was a big let down so that needed to be sorted. Next was deciding what colour to do paint them. Well seen as the car is orange then orange wheels were a no go! Aha...the roof, door handles, wing mirrors etc are all gloss black so that would match better than matte black.

Ok done, but every average Joe has gloss black wheels and I wanted something different. Whilst the car is bright orange and orange wheels would look horrible I still wanted a hint of orange in there somewhere. I had a lengthy chat with my paintshop and we came to the conclusion that he was going to experiment with the wheels. He hadnt tried the particular technique before but was willing to give it a go if I wanted him to. Nervously I said yes do it! I had no idea how it was going to turn out and neither did he. Needless to say I was mega nervous when I went to collect the car. However, I am now over the moon with the wheels and think they look stunning. Those of you that were at Japfest will have seen them and you may have seen them in pictures but I thought Id post up anyway. Here is before:
