   Hi guys just signed up today, I have a black vtr and im going for a black and white theme. I already have the mirrors, badges and center console in white. I just cannot find white vtr/vts alloys anywhere . Im rather impatient so i don't want to wait or spend £45/50 per wheel to get them powder coated.
   
   If any 1 has or knows of any 1 selling a white set with tires it would be much appreciated .

   I realise you can't use it yet but there is a reason, it's the rules, this thread will get deleted by a mod.

   do them yourself bud, its pretty easy tbh, they'll look brand new after you spray them and will also save you the hassle of finding another set.

   Did mine to black, just sand them down, till they are dull, then prime, sand, prime, sand, paint, sand, paint, paint, laquer, laquer
   
   Use a high grade wet and dry paper, it will stop it having a slight 'sandy' texture.
   
   
   My progress thread has some pics

    Here are some vts alloys I sprayed, first attempt at spraying came out really well. Prep is the key to a good finish. few pics of them .....
