General Decent Wheel Trims

[bett]

I feel a bit silly asking this but here it goes anyway!

I would love alloys but there is no point me getting any just yet.

So I was wondering if there is any decent wheel trims out there?

I've been in Motorworld and Halfords etc.. and they have some ok ones in there. I would like some that look like Alloys and would go well on my Pink Fiat Cinq without looking naff.

Any suggestions?

black ones with j tec.

least tacky and will hide your steel rims

 

[serin]

there arnt any sporty wheeltrims that look good

the problem is that the open spokes show the steel wheel behind, which next looks good

those black ones arnt *TOO* bad, but i think the later model standard cinq ones look a lot better

Cheers for your comments. Not many good ones out there really.

The wheel trims on my fiat cinq are like this:

But they are this horrible grey colour lol.

get the wheels of the sei being broken in classifieds.

i think they will fit (somebody confirm)

theres a bravo near me with wheel trims which are black middle and chrome edge, from a few metres away they really do look like real nice euro alloys

why not go for the steelie look though? lol thats what i am atm, looks good

[beau]

Cheers for the link, they dont look too bad.

Those J-Tec ones look quite nice! They go well on your Fiat Cinq Moose_UK.

Do you think they would look nice on a pink cinq?

You could always spray the silver bits on those trims pink

take um off clean them up get plastic primer and paint same colour as car and colour code them. will look better than any of the ones with 5 fake bolts on a car that everyone knows has 4 bolts

Good suggestion Dave, I reckon that would look good as well

I like your ideas

I dont have a clue though how I would spray them to make them look good

 

[dave]

should be some stuff on spraying in the body shop section of the site
the key is good prep and light coats

If i ruked the world wheel trims would be banned!! lol

If it were me, i'd take off your trims and just run around on bare steelies, if they looing a bit rough, bit of black paint, jobs a good'un. Thats my opinion anyway, could stilldo a pink lip round edge or something

 

[bett]

Well I have just looked on ebay and those Jtec ones arnt for sale no more.

I really don't know which ones to get now. Maybe I should just splash the cash and get some 2nd hand alloys...

In this car shop in Queensferry they had some nice black wheel trims but my dad said they would look ****! lol

Someone told me to look out for some Sei sporting alloys what do you think of them?

 

[st-hamuel]

sei sporting alloys on ebay atm for around £60 afaik but imo not worth the cash if ur gonna b getting a decent set soon neway for a quick fix i say either go steel or stick 2 the standard trims...theres nothing worse than people trying 2 make things look cool with eg 'sporty' trims cause it just makes it obvious u want alloys but don't have them!!

 

[Leicester Cinq]

what paint would u use to spray the steel then? i wouldnt mind my steels being black with a red outter cirlce

cheers
