I'm taking the hardtop off this weekend, think it looks a little odd with a silver roof and the tyres need tyre black!

I know this wont be everyone's cup of Tea but i fancied something different and the Wheel Specialist were keen to showcase some of the more extravagant colours....

Thanks Fab. I thought I'd better improve my S,P&G before the gendarmerie start locking threads for grammar errors.

Yay lol, i'm still undecided. thinking of going for a two tone, maybe get the spokes done in black and keep the dish as it is. They said they will change it if i dont like the colour as i've done a few things for them. I just didn't fancy the normal gloss black!

Thinking about having rim protectors fitted to bring a bit of contrast.
Thinking something like white or red?
Opinions?

But personally I would not have the same colour wheels.However - I can't talk cos many years ago I had a chevette that was jamaica yellow - I sprayed the wheels the same colour.
Luckily my tastes have calmed down now I am older
