painting wheels: what colour?

[flagg]

Hi Guys,

I'm planning on painting up some disco rims for my 110 (once the offset mod is done) and I'm trying to decide on the colour.

Its a white 110 with a black wrap around bull bar with side steps and black chequer plate on the fenders.. so I was thinking about painting them satin black. (and maybe the bar etc at the same time..)

BUT - the other day I saw a hilux with black sunnies on it.. and it looks really dodgy maybe black isn't the go! (or, its just the hilux that make it look crap )

Any ideas on a good colour? everything else is black or white so I really don't seem to have much choice...

Anyone got a deefer with black rims that looks good? Pics would be great

Flagg I did mine silver and dark grey on the inside which is having two bob each way. Anyhow heres a photo so you see what I mean.

Both Barney & IdleTorque have white Disco wheels on their white Defenders with black bars. I think it looks very good.

Another option is the original silver.

Yes I know that it's not a white Defender, but the wheels are silver.

lrdef110 - Nice Are they flipped, or does it just have a modded offset?

MacFamily - Thankyou That looks the business Black it is. Are they gloss or satin?

Larry - Thanks mate. Are they 33s? Do you have a lift? Any rubbing?

flipped ?

flipped ?

The centre is removed from the rim and the outer flipped and welded back on.

Done to increase offset.

Once flipped do they still fit under the guards of a stock defender?

With the D1 steel wheels does anyone know how much offset is required to get back your turning circle cf 5.5 X 16 standard defender wheels?
