Should i color code my wheels ( RED ) to match the rest of the disco or stay with the Black that they already have ?
The outer rim and spokes will be staying polished ;).

Dark Metallic Grey on the sides of the spokes & inside rim, highlighted by nicely polished alloy on the outside of the spokes & rim :)
meh, my two cents worth ;)

I LUV those mags as they are .... They just need to be cleaned
Repaint the Charcoal / black insert's (just as is)
And Polish / Buff the Ali areas
Then Clear seal (2pac) the whole rim
AND find or mill up some dome caps to cover the stub axles ;)
Oh ... And kick the tyre fitter up the A###S for not using the "sticky back lead weights" on the "inside" of the rims ... The ones they used makes it look, Yuk .... They did the same to mine ... :mad: ... made them take the wheels off the car and do it again

Mate,
Definately stay with the black bits. If you give them a bit of a touch up with some gloss black and a polish they will look a treat when clean.
I reckon if you do it in red it will look a bit too much, if you know what i mean. I've got black sunnies on my D1 an they look good .......
Cheers:D:D

Looks fine to me ....
BTW do you have an issue with the rear guard rubbing with those size tyres ???....looks like you have no panel trimming there. ( you may have - a bit hard to tell. )
Looks like the front bumper would rub too.

Hi Wayne, I have done a camel cut since this pic and in the process of building my own bullbar . So Rubbing is not that much of an issue now :D;).
