Black or Charcoal 9 spokes?

[DAN-HN]

Considering getting the alloys painted or powercoated once the car is lowered. Anyone think this would look good or has seen it done before?

Cheers

Saw one with anthracite looking 9 spokes. Car was lowered and looked ok but personally i would go for some aftermarket wheels and play with them. Problem is if you change colour and don't like them not many people would want to buy some non-original 9 spokes.
Either way, car would have to be lowered to look good.

anthracite 9 spokes could be original fit millennium 9 spokes. Darker wheels on a silver can look quite good k:

yeah a dark gunmetal grey or black will look great the only thing is when the paint starts chipping away they look abit messy

i would have liked to paint my 9 spoke gunmateal grey but depends what coulor your car is

I've noticed a lot of cars with either black or dark coloured wheels in recent months.
Puma wise - dark multispokes look good, so too do dark with polished rim. Black props are certainly out - they are best left as they are.

Currently have some anthracite Fox Evo 3 multispokes 17" (but blimey what a crashy ride) as can be seen on my avatar on the other site.
The wheels above look good on the topgear site more so the black ones

I have black multispokes with a silver line to the front of each spoke. They look the dogs bolloxs imo but as said above, once they start chipping/flaking they look a little tatty. Gonna get some black paint when I remember while I'm out and about and give them a quick touch up. I'm not bothered about a super clean finish as long as they look black where they're supposed to look black...lol

Any chance of some pictures? I'm curious what they look like on a Millie, and I'm not on Pumapeople.

if the stud pattern is 4 and the offset is good i would imagine they look good

really nice alloys

Seen similar ones like that before....didn't BMW have some like that?

Yeah its definitely getting lowered, trying to decide whether I should do it to save money, reduce scrubbing and maintain the great handling the car has by not changing the ET. But perhaps I could lower it maybe 50mm instead of 40mm if I just kept the 15' on? Any opinions? I don't plan on selling them anyway even if i did buy aftermarkets, because if I had an accident I would want them there to put on before insurance takes my car away :-D

 

[Fordfreak]

Yes good thinking. i could do with the cash though so i'll probably end up selling my set.
Let's hope i don't crash it though as insuranec people haven't been notified....

 

[DAN-HN]

Well I'm less likely to tramline if I do keep them, and inevitably crash haha. Anyone got any photos of the 9 spokes painted or powdercoated, or even a photoshop creation?

dont forget you could ruin the handling if you go to low

 

[DAN-HN]

40mm is about right, according to most people, think I'm going for that (i)

No Batman- Blacknight showed you pictures of his Venom, the one you asked for any way?

If you still want pictures of a Viper then when i get some spare time to myself I'll do them. The last few weeks I ahve had alot of other stuff come up to sort out thats more important then that
