Wheel Colour Choice
Afternoon!
Right... decided that the Spyder will be red with contrasting satin black wheels, grills, and flyscreen.
Was wondering if I should I go for a red rim on the wheels though.
Bought a nice set of Merc AMG 19" wheels and have given them a quick blast with some black and red paint to see. When I say quick, I mean less
than a couple of minutes, so don't think this is what they'll end up like... !
Opinion welcome!

Not red! The car, I mean, not the wheels.
For a really good colour, may I refer you to Bond's DBS in O.H.M.S.S.
Wheels would be silver, then, of course

Personally I prefer more spokes.
You're going to need some big brakes to fill those wheels!

I saw an ultima at Laon this year that was Kawasaki green with black wheels , with a matching green pin-stripe round the wheel rims .
It looked great (I've had to adjust the picture to get the rims to show , but you get the idea...)

How does a set of AP 4 pots with 330mm cross-drilled and vented discs sound!

I love the look on the lotus, but the wide red rim in your first pic is too much for me. Maybe a pin strip in red if you must, but I prefer it without
any stripe.

You can do it quickly. You can do it cheap. You can do it right. – Pick any two.

Good job we are all different, personally I think that Lotus looks awful, but then it's not mine so it doesn't matter (not that I could
get in it anyway!)
If it was my Ultima then it would get the same colour all over (not the glass!), natural colour wheels and not have a 'scheme' at all. But
then it isn't, so that's alright.
How about a nice pale metallic blue, like some of the early E types FHC's?

But then I also think this looks good
No offense John, as you say just as well tastes differ, otherwise we would all be driving the same car

I know what your saying John, but I don't think an Ultima will ever look classy like an Aston. I just think that silvers or pale blue will look
wishy-washy on this car.
Ultima's are vulgar snorting beasts and should be dressed as such
Joking aside - I just think it needs a bold colour... I had thought of doing it in Gulf racing colours... !

In my opinion black wheels are awful....cant understand why they are so popular..........they really suck the light away.
Wheels should be satin Ali/silver....IMO
