My alloys finally turned up with the courier today, unfortunately they've arrived a bit scuffed & scratched. Got me thinking whether I should respray them or not? I have quickly photoshopped them to give you an idea of what they would look like in the colours Im thinking of.......

What do you think looks best?

a)silver
b)blue
C)orange

?????

Just noticed that a couple of people have said do the rims black. Too be honest the only reason I haven't included black is that they are becoming far too common (they are now a standard colour at Halfords-Not good!).

Im really liking the orange coz it reminds me of the Gulf Porsche racing colours, but on the flip side it screams racer, & an almost bog standard 1.1 engine just isnt gonna cut it!!!

Not yet, But it will be!
I've only got PI -50mm at the mo & it just isnt enough! The plan is to throw on some -60mm & hope they drop a bit further, just gotta find some shortened shocks to match first! :)
 
I reckon black centres with polished/chrome/silver rims.
 
being a fellow imola (best cinq colour every) owner with standard body work i will input my opinion.

i think it depends on the look u are going for, i have mine all colour coded (see my gallery!) with dark rims and in my opinion it looks well cool, real smooth.

the polished rim with body coloured spokes would look awesome if u wanted the smooth look, get some blue tint for the lights while u are at it! ;)

however, if u wanted to stand out more, then leaving the rubstrips and gettin the rims orange would be the way forward for sure, orange_wheeled_wonder had a sei with orange accents and orange rims, looked very good with black! search for the pics....

personally if i were u and didnt want black cause it is too common, then i would go for all colour coded! personally i think the orange is too different and too hard to get other bits to match!

go for blue (y)
