right ive got some 5 spoke tsw alloys (cant remember the model) which are a bit kerbed and scratched. im going to have a go at refurbing them somtime soon and just wondered what colour to do them? at the minute they are silver. its a posi blue vtr lowered 40mm (if that makes a difference?) i thought maybe black with a posi blue rim?

Black with blue lip would look mint:y:i was goign to use blue rim tape on my Glossy black 'R's but then i realised i needed a bigger width rimtape and that the rimtape wasnt sticking due to my alloys being glossy,,but black with a blue lip would look good.or maybe anthracite:y:

black and white are the two most popular colours with a posi blue car...so you would have no problems going down either route... or you could go crazy and go yellow or orange... really is personal preference, i went with posi blue and white wheels

i was thinking about using rim tape but from that i think ill spray the lip instead, matt black or glossy black?

I prefer glossy black wheels but matte black would be different,,yeah a blue lip sprayed on would be good mate:y:

Check my progress thread in a few days mate, I'm going satin black on the wheels with a reflective blue pinstripe when it comes, either that or fluorescent yellow, had that for a while
