    Have just got some VTS wheels which can't go on until i swap my tyres over, so i want to refurb them.

    We mix paint at work, so can get some nice colours done.

    My first choice is Rover Sparkle Silver, which is a pearlescent high power silver. Like the standard vts wheel colour, but more metallic.

    I've also thought about doing them mauritius blue, as i got a photo shop done with mauritius vtr wheels not so long ago.

    Then there's the obvious anthracite, white, black.

    Lastly, i thought about doing mauritius blue centres fading out into a black rim.

    Any help would be appreciated as i want to start today!
    Also photoshops would be awesome.

    Pics of the car atm.




    New Wheels:





    Old photoshop (old pic but you get the idea):

    well i have a mauritius vt kit which could use a little tlc and someone has offered to spray and 2pack lacquer it for me, so im just getting round to it. dont know whether ill keep the 2tone or go for the oe+ look.

    All white would look sweet on yours mate. With white vts wheels or those other ones?

    Blue with a silver / polished lip or vice versa?

    not much tbh, but one or two of the wheels have slight marks and imperfections. One of the wheels' lacquer is a bit iffy. If i have to wait to get my tyres swapped, i might aswel refurb them.

    Edit:

    Do you mean my current multispokes? or the std vts wheels?

    yeah i thought about polishing them, but i know the work in keeping them that way, due to my polished rocker cover. would look nice though. blue with a lip is a possibility. Thanks
