Hi, I have an F56 Midnight Black and it comes with 16" silver spoke, I would like to change the color by painting them with Plasti dip, which color you think would be better. Black, white or leave it OEM? I'll appreciate your comments.

Black, definitely ,am not keen on white wheels but of course this is very personal . But plasticote? Think you're better doing it properly!I really wouldn't risk plasticote

 

[profiteroles]

Agree with Jeremy - is plasticote a good idea so close to the brake discs?

Personally I think the chrome looks pretty nice on there.

Im not a fan of white wheels personally but then again its not my car

If it were me in the same boat I would consider wheel design rather than color and maybe go for a more intricate pattern.

Whatever you do though its a sweet looking car, congrats.

If you go on www.mytyres.co.uk and click on alloy wheels they show you a vo mini and you can play around with a variety of aftermarket alloys. I like mini ones though as a rule

 

[WiltsPat]

Ohhhhhh there are some real nice ones on there!

I like these alot, not too much black but a nice mix

May consider for a Happy Birthday Me present lol

 

[jeremybingham]

Yes you could spend some cash. They're great to order from too. I was very impressed.got dezent graphite as my winter tyres.

Wow they are tasty. They've added quite a few new ones to the range since I bought mine.some really nice designs there.

Errr...*Cough"...Pat Back Tracks....

Just seen how much a set would cost! I think the Chief would think £1000 is a bit more than a Birthday Present lol

 

[jeremybingham]

Yes not cheap. Nice though!

 

[cesarpand]

Thanks all for your comments. I'll try on black and post some photos when done. Certainly would be great to change design, but its a bit expensive. And here in Mexico its not necessary to change tires and wheels on winter because it doesn't snow.

 

[cesarpand]

I would be a good reason!

leave them silver and get the Mini center caps in red or orange

Black wheels, Cesarpand! Definitely black! A lot of people like the 17" black cosmos rims. They look great, undoubtedly, but I think the 16" black victory spokes look just as good, and are quite a bit cheaper too.

 

[cesarpand]

Well, after painting the rims here is the result:

 

[cesarpand]

I guess it's much better than the silver OEM.

 

[jeremybingham]

Good job what did you use?

 

[cesarpand]

Its with plasti dip. I didn't want to have them paint because I didn't know if was going to look good. So now I'll wait until it last and then to paint them definitely with black color.

 

[jeremybingham]

Brilliant. They look really good. Let us know how it wears!

Rims look great, I ordered loop spoke as well and planned on doing the same thing.
