very brave the best colour imho is white rims with the blue car

I was thinking about white! What about if i just get white rim protectors for the time being?

when i was looking for a Vx i was interested in a turbo in blue with white wheels also white seats looked awesome, i believe the owner was on this forum and the car sold overseas and got smashed up ! but the pics may still be on here.

Finish looks very good, but just as I don't like black wheels on black cars there's just too much 'blue' going on there. White or Anthracite on a Blue VX looks tho!

[Andy_VX]

I agree about the black on black. I sort of feel the same about the blue but it is growing on me! I may have white done at a later date though.

I went down to wales to view this car and the colour combo was great.

I also agree with Simba. Anthracite also looks fantastic, especially on coral.

mmmmm coral turbo with anthracite turbo wheels

Nice! I love it! I find forza a great platform for trying out "stuff"

[Andy_VX]

That does look good! bet it's a git to keep clean though! That VX is fully slammed!

[mark moyz]

Thats the one, just couldnt remember the owners name ! the car looks perfect with the white and blue. for some strange reason i panic bought a Rabiata red n/a

[MrSimba]

Don't know what the Alloys are (and don't want to either!) but anthracite on blue is a great combo

[Andy_VX]

Bit boring IMO, I think a slightly darker colour would look nice though. I've seen that blue VX with white wheels on youtube, love the exterior but the interior is a bit chavy for me.

What are the indicators, they're amazing!!

You'd probably be surprised actually . I had these wheels done on a previous car by the wheel specialist and found that with a good coat of 'nano' wheel seal treatment or super resin polish on them most muck just hosed off. Very easy to keep looking good.

An added benefit of a refurb is that both the faces and insides are done in the same gloss finish where as alot of OEM wheels have a rougher surface on the inside where dirt tends to stick more firmly, although this is harder to see it is also harder to clean.

They look so much better don't they.

Nice RX8! yeah i know what you mean, the finish on my wheels is increible! they put 2 coats of wax on too so the dirt will just wash straight off hopefully. Those indicators are awesome! Getting some of those! thanks

Wow looks like a fairly big job! not just a simple swap! not sure i want to do that.

It's a piece of pi55, took me about 20 minutes a side. Well worth the effort IMO, very little to go wrong and kind of reversible should you ever want the originals back on.

Bring it over and I'll lend a hand.
