Can you add a poll to the thread? I like silver myself.

 

[Dougyledds]

Silver looks clean mate but anthricite looks meaner

 

[MicrAde]

Hmmmm, dunno, not done a poll before.....

 

[Jen319]

I like the dark grey/anthracite

 

[tomwest]

agreed anthracite

 

[MicrAde]

And the early leader is anthracite......

 

[Scott.c]

I like the white personally

 

[MarkTracey]

Anthracite

 

[MicrAde]

I was all for the anthracite but the more I look at the white the more it grows on me. White wheels really do suit a red car but keeping them clean is a bit of a sod

 

[Harlen]

The grey is pretty sick, I reckon it'd look well nice with a metallic finish too!

If they do end up in the grey/anthracite which is looking likely it will defo be metallic. Whats peoples views on bronze? Unfortunately I cant come up with a decent shade in gimp

 

[Scott.c]

White Ade WHITE! A pain to keep clean but white wheels on red cars is sex

I had white alloys on the old 10 and it did look good.............but at the moment you're being outvoted Scott

 

[r-reg-sr]

Yep antichrist,,,,but the silver n white look catching also

still prefer the Grey
but...this sort of colour...perhaps darker?

I also use Gimp BTW

 

[Scott.c]

I'll have a play on photoshop later see what I can come up with

[McMicra]

I vote the green/yellow-ish colour, do a shoop with that color for meh? think it would look the dogs danglies on a clean red car

 

[MicrAde]

Bout as close as I can get to bronze.....ish

 

[MicrAde]

I do quite like that luminous yellow McMicra..............unfortunately at the moment I don't have a 'clean' red car

 

[McMicra]

But in the future you will, and it will be awesome, and youll be like "holy crap mcmicra was right!"

SHOOP IT FOR ME I WANT TO SEE!

 

[MicrAde]

Quick one..................

 

[McMicra]

On the current vote with out my addition its gotta be the anthracite

 

[McMicra]

Like this crazy fool!!

I hope no boy ever gets on her bad side!

 

[Sdperkins]

Yeah do something different!!!

 

[MicrAde]

I hope no boy ever gets on her bad side!

Don't worry, I've kickboxed as well so they have me to worry about too

 

[ox11ey]

Luminous yellow ftw

 

[MicrAde]

Luminous yellow ftw

Tried brightening them up a bit................................

 

[Jen319]

Thanks Jen but they look orange on my phone

Hmmmm ...I think my screen settings must be dodgy then

 

[SK193]

I'd say anthracite/metallic grey, although that bright yellow does look quite interesting

 

[MicrAde]

Right then, resurrecting an old thread, rather than starting a new one, cos it's pretty much the same thing.
Fancying a bit of a change again and, as the mini rims have a bit of a dish/lip I was thinking of maybe polishing the lip and adding a colour to the centre

Not this colour but it's the only
pic I could find of polished/painted wheels like mine.
Was thinking maybe a dark gunmetal?
Thoughts please
Thanks y'all

Also, I would be polishing more of the rim than on the wheels above

Polished rims need polishing every week really, and not used in the winter. Those Mini wheels look fantastic on your Micra, they're a bit lost on in a Mini's arches.

I discovered that with the minilites
Worth the effort though.
Thanks for that 1275

The same red as the car, with the polished lip/dish? Think that would be pretty cool looking personally?

 

[MicrAde]

Think I'm gonna have to play with gimp later
How wrong does that sound?!

[BarnsleyNath]

I was thinking this with my new wolf race alloys, black with a polished lip but a lot of effort and as stated need to polish all the time haha, they golden/bronze atm so i'm going to stick em on, they might look good with the silver kind of like a silver Scooby with gold wheels

...not that wrong, as I had a play with Gimp too

[MicrAde]

Awesome job Jen There is NO WAY I can leave them silver now! It's just deciding on what colour...........

[Jen319]

ETA: I can do other colours too...will be back after dinner though
