Posts: 153 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 | refinish alloys/lowered or new alloys Hi i feel the need to modify the stilo a bit, im thinking either get my alloys (currently 5 spoke abarth type but standard silver) refinished in somthing like shadow chrome? and then lower the car or i quite fancy some 18's, somthing in the style of multispoke like tsw pace? What do you think? Thanks Alex

![]() | Re: refinish alloys/lowered or new alloys Get the standards re-coloured and the car lowered, will look tons better than 18s. Although i hate anything associated with chrome wheels so maybe go with a different finish.

![]() | Re: refinish alloys/lowered or new alloys Daves idea sounds good. Im guessing that shadow chrome is dark chrome, if so then on a grey car they might look ok.

![]() | Re: refinish alloys/lowered or new alloys On a sassi Stilo i'd stick with painting the originals in a smokey chrome colour and do your calipers red, new 18's won't make a big difference as the original 5 spokes are about as good as they come for a silver stilo.

![]() | Re: refinish alloys/lowered or new alloys here's one of the images, haven't got time to do both, not perfect but they do give a good indication of how good they will look. The car has been lowered by 35mm too ![]()

Posts: 153 Thanks: 0 Trader Rating: 0 | Re: refinish alloys/lowered or new alloys cheers koa! i think i will look into the refinishing, how much do you think it would cost £30 an alloy? and then get onto the insurance see if they will allow me to lower it and then stick some eibachs on, ive got a spoiler and need to paint the strips first tho!

![]() | Re: refinish alloys/lowered or new alloys I think cost will depend entirely on condition, if it's just a case of respraying them then £30 a corner sounds about right because there wont be any need for intricate masking off. My wheels will cost anywhere between £300 and £500 for the set to be done because of all the extra work masking etc. I just need to find somewhere that will come and collect my wheels and do the job, then bring em back, but they have to leave the car up on jacks or ramps for a few days.
