paintin steelies?good idea or bad?

[danthemann]

i have seen a 106 with standard steelies just painted white-and i think they look well nice for rally style...anyone got any opinions on wether i should do this for now until i can afford some decent alloys?

[dancotton2003]

y not dude just dont spend a f**k load doin it but on the other hand dont just use gloss lmao

[Ish]

imo steelys suck

[danthemann]

shouldnt have to spend alot..as long as i key them properly i shouldnt need to prime them..not like i need a perfect finish lol.so will only cost me whatever the paint costs..probz only need 2 cans of the 500ml halfords cans..so about £12-15.cheaper than a set of wheel trims lol.

how easy would it be to mask them off etc? anyone done it before?

[Mintyc14nz]

not bein funny but i thought about doin that after i bought my alloys lol but i think it would look ok, lowered a little on steelies

[danthemann]

yeh its only gonna be temporary.and iv seen it on a 106 and dont look that bad,il try find the pic and post it on here.

[danthemann]

heres the pic..i think they look good for rally style

[danthemann]

anyone else think this is a good idea or bad???

I quite like the steelis painted white on corsa's. Especially on a darker colour, dont know about white car tho?? Can anyone photoshop them onto your car to see? I was thinking about steelies too.

[danthemann]

do u think black would look better then? i think white would look quite nice tho,seein as it is rally style...we used to have white wheels on our white evo 6 and it looked well good.should be alrite coz i still got blak bumpers...mite b diff once i colour code everythin...but for now i think il jusy spray em white- icant really go wrong lol

[scotty cav turbo]

Get some pics up when youve done it, i am tempted myself.

[mradz]

sounds like a good idea imo, and hay, why the hell not? what you got to lose!!!!

what colour you thinking of doing them??

[danthemann]

yeh once i do it il post pics up.

gonna do em white like the 106 above

[kona1991]

i was thinking about painting mine black on my silver corsa...

this is only because ive mashed two wheel trims

dunno wat it would look like... might try some photoshopping

[danthemann]

yeh think that would like good,depends on wot look your goin for.im goin for rally style so white steelies will fit in really well.

any chance u could photo shop mine with white steelys? plzzz
