   I'm in the process of reburbing a set of wolfrace pro sprint which i got cheap from the scrapyard, before people start moaning about how i should stick to my original vtr alloys i will be refurbing them too in black after.
   
   but any way i have a silver vtr mk2 but im not to sure what colour to paint the alloys. i definatly want orange on them because ive painted my front grill badge orange and my orange saxperience stickers
   
   here some picture of my car. ive only owned this about 3 weeks now and i want to start making it my own by making a few mods to it i have loads of plans just need money now HA!!
   
   
   
   
   
   
   the alloys i have ive sanded them all down and just put my first layer of primer on
   Before -
   
   
   
   After-
   
   
   
   i can either paint them orange with a black rim or i can paint then black with a orange rim around them
   
   i did a photo shop of what they would look like orange bit shit but i cant photoshop
   
   
   
   or do i go for
   
   
   
   What do you think??
   
   sorry about all the photos
   
   any other ideas please say

    Black rim with orange lip, also try to see if you can paint the silver part of the "vtr" badges on the side of the car! will add to your subtle orange touches

    get the orange lip set looks far better, just use tape for the lip though
    
    that way when you change your mind you can peel it off
