   Right, ive recently sprayed my S alloys, and my front and rear badges "white" as i was gonna go for the wicked red/white look.
   
   After changing my front strut, having it lowered etc the wheels especially around the nut area have took a bit of a battering and are showing a few marks.
   
   As i have a week off work soon, i was going to respray them, maybe a different colour. Gloss black alloys & badges?
   
   Just wondering whether any of you have any thoughts idea's youd like to share and what you think may look good?
   
   And also what primer/paint/lacquer to use. Such as make/type etc? As i find Halfrauds stuff to be a bag of s***. And would like the job to last really!
   
   
   Thanks all

   I'd go with the red/black theme, would look nice.
   
   Although the white still looks pretty smart. Hard choice
