Thread: Powder coating v painting LR rims

Sweet thanks. I was toying with Bonati grey like my truck but i think in the end satin black would look better and match bar, sliders, ladder etc.

Cheers

sorry, a bad pun playing on my camera expertise,
or lack thereof.

Gottcha. I am going off the idea. I have seen a few grey D2's in Google images with satin black, matt black, and also grey. I think the dark colours need silver.

Cheers

OK, so this will be fun. I bought some LR 16 inch rims that are the claw variety - early D2 here and I think all models in ZA. I like them - they are more like the D1 ROH 16 inch wheels.

I have also just bought for a bargain price 5 new OEM black and silver (RRS style) LR centrecaps. My plan is to paint my wheels either black satin with these centre caps and leave the wheel nuts original silver or Bonati Grey like the truck and then black centre caps and silver nuts.

I found a pic of a D2 with different wheels to mine, but painted the same colour as the car - grey.

What's people's thoughts about the 2 colour schemes proposed? My truck has black ladder, black roof rails and basket, black bull bar, black sliders and black spot lights.

Cheers
