Great work, very impressed with the finish. This may be the colour for me.Sim_Simma wrote:If you need to know what to tell your wheel specialist just ask
Just spoke with Platinum Wheels in Swindon, showed them one of your pics and they are confident they can do it. They said it looked similar to the Audi Rotor wheels?
Just to be sure though, what should I be asking for?
Thanks

Yeah the idea was inspired by audi they're right. Just tell them I used ford graphite grey basecoat with a matt 2k clear. Can't go wrong reallyxedbot wrote:Great work, very impressed with the finish.

Re: ///M Wheels Experiment: Satin Graphite PICS!
Is that a square, non staggered set? The rears look same size as the front. Could actually use some spacers?
Colour came out really well

Re: ///M Wheels Experiment: Satin Graphite PICS!
No they are as standard. Remeber it's a real ///M so the rears don't stick out like they do when you put 224s on a non M.GP06Roadster wrote:Is that a square, non staggered set? The rears look same size as the front. Could actually use some spacers?

edit: also spacers on one of the next things on the list after my H&R springs are fitted. Just not sure what sizes to get yet.
