Right...
I've been lookind around for some rims for me Micra, but unfortunatly I can't buy anything due to a trip to New York

So, I was thinking about painting my steelies....
Black in the center, silver/chrome on the outside...

Does anyone have any pics of somthing like this??
I wanna see what it looks like...

Cheers

Just try doing it with black n silver in a can. If it looks crap then just paint it all black like original. However there is a white ford fiesta on boost on the gold coast that has the origianl stockies on and has made them 8" wide and painted gloss black centre and gloss orange rim. It looks so good and unique but prob cost a bit. I'll try finding the link or will post a pick for ya.

why not paint gloss black and get some chrome clip in 'rim' covers from your fav auto store.

thumbs up, exactly! I knew someone had done it but forgot how good it looked!

 

[CMF_MopedMan]

Exactly hotfunk....
You know how it was done??

 

[CMF_Micra_King]

Looks great hotfunk. Might have to find some 13" chrome rings and do the same now.

 

[CMF_MopedMan]

I have 14"
So do the chrome rings jus pop on??

 

[CMF_LonePhantom]

Yeah, pop on like hub caps. I have some on my Micra too.

Thats not my car by the way!!! I did have the chrome dress rings on my steelies before I went to alloys. They were about $80 for the 4 from auto one from memory. They make them in 14" moped man so you'll have no probs getting them.

just wondering if anybody knows how wide the standard steelies will band before they scrub??
