driversdomainuk 8 Posted October 28, 2009 Hi A local body shop are going to recon and recolour my 1.9 speedline alloys on my competition 205GTI which is white... Any ideas what colour would look good..? I was thiking Subaru Gold...will cost me nothing, as I am doing some web work in return, but being a track car which has sponsors I would like to make it stand out, but it is road going, so not too OTT...!!

Lan 24 1 Cars Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) I don't think the gold would work on the white personally what if you want something wild what about bright green or orange I've seen the orange on white before on here can find the pics though edit: found it http://forum.205gtidrivers.com/index.php?s...+wheels++orange Edited October 28, 2009 by Lan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

willmounsey 1 Posted October 28, 2009 What about red? If you still have the red bump-strips on the colour could work? Will Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
driversdomainuk 8 Posted October 28, 2009 What about red? If you still have the red bump-strips on the colour could work? Will I dont have any of the strips - long gone before smoothing and respray. I think gold gives a slight anodised effect and is not such a solid colour... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gentry_Ba 1 Posted October 28, 2009 hi! my ideas: - black with red circle around - red - neon-green - white with red circle - black with "speedline" sticker in red nice would be black with polished lip, etc... there are sooooooo many options! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

driversdomainuk 8 Posted October 28, 2009 I think I will go with subaru gold as they have a nice anodised effect... Which begs the question why did I post this message in the first place LOL...!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SurGie 54 Posted October 28, 2009 For me, i like light colour alloys on dark or near dark colour 205's and dark colour alloys for light coloured 205's, ie silver,white,yellow, topaz blue, laser green. The wheels have to stick out for me and im not keen on having the same colour alloys as the car, especially black alloys with the black tires it just looks dull imo.

Richie 32 Posted November 2, 2009 I think gold would be cool, and a bit different from the usual colours people have on white cars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
