I would make the whole rime gunmetal and 1 spoke splash theme.

i have alreay painted the wheels, would have been a great look.


This past week i decided to work on my Rims as i was getting annoyed looking at the faded chrome.1st picture is how it looked like before

then my friend and i started sanding them down down

he(my paint guru) suggested i also do the front bumper as it was silver, we had them sanded and primered

then for some black paint

let it dry then wrap the black and finish it with some gloss white and clear coat to make it shine

after letting it dry i then assembled the bumper and wheels

yes the colours dont match but il respray the whole car when i have enough in the bank for a full respray,the paint guru said he will do magic when he polishes the front and wheels.
oh by the way i also did the grilles gloss black.

i had to go home as it was cold and late and stopped at a petrol station to look at it

Taking shape nicely

I think it would look cool to see the white part of the dishes on the wheels with the splash theme..
but non the less it looks really good so far
 
I absolutely like the look and the work being done on the car.
shows dedication and perseverance goes a long way.

If i can offer some help on the respray, there is guy in Vereeniging called Orlando, runs a company called Redline.
I cannot begin to tell you the work he does, look him up on Facebook also, his work is some of the best ive seen, and i hear his prices are really good,

I have seen his uploads and he literally has taken a smash and totalled car back to new. give him a call.
