Can someone make the front wheel white, a black version and a grey version? And any other colour you think might look good

Just to see what is best against the red

Whatever picture is easier..

Thanks very much

I think really its gonna be black or white
Or maybe grey to match the bumper inserts

I wanted to do something different but it seems wheels always look good in silver

Like I saw a 114Gta with black 6 spokes but when I looked at mine with silver it looked much more fresh

I do kind of like the grey though at the same time

Location: Dudley, Midlands		Did do some MPi rims for someone in a lighter grey...
came out like factory storm grey I think.
Cross-spokes can be an arse to paint evenly aswell...
if they're fine, leave them...
if they're rough, powder coat, though you are limited on colours.
Could paint the bits between 'spoke' black to look like more holes for a subtle change!?

Less scuffs than the 6spokes

I did think about blacking in between the spokes but I doubt you'd notice anyway

Seems like leaving them silver is the best idea

That could look quite nice and subtle I'm black
I might colour one in with a dry wipe marker and see how it looks

Thanks for that

Location: Dudley, Midlands		Twice as many bits to mask off and spray on A-series versions...
not even got round to editing a pic to see if I like it enough to do it!?!

Dry wipe colouring in could be the way forward!!

Post a pic if you try it, might try mine if it works!!

See if it is worth the ballache of masking up each one

I'll be back tomorrow

Location: Dudley, Midlands		Now I do like that!!
Crudely did my A-series versions, but not too sure, extra row of holes and different centres change it.
The way the centre is on SPi's, they could actually be holes, it works IMO.
I originally had the idea to go with a more chrome/polished type of finish...
stop those areas standing out too much with reflections!
I'd go for it, but I'm a big fan of barely noticeable little touches, so worth the masking grief to me!?
