Alloy wheels

[Chris Green90]

What do we reckon to these for sticking my muddies on 4 for £75

 

[Gav Peter]

Look tidy from here Chris

 

[karl webster]

Cheap. Just make sure they fit the truck with the tyres on

Cheers Shayne but I kinda want them on for that particular weekend, Its going to be the first time out for my new muddies.

Keep to alloys Chris, stronger, lighter, better. I think they will do the job great and look better than any steels.

Andy I concur

I agree 100% that alloys are lighter and better though the cost puts me off (wont agree stonger coz steel can bend and still get you home while alloy once bust is dead) . As for looks better nah sorry pure engineered to do as it says on the tin beats style any day for me any day . Still , black wheels would look cool on your truck Chris .

I have often thought about going black on my truck but... I think it works on yours as the whole truck is black, and it would work on say sae70's collie because the arches are silver but with mine I just think there would be too much black below the waist.

I think black wheels look good on your truck and its another step away from standard , I can see some serious design flaws with the portable toilet also pictured though , the lack of a hole and the neighbors complaints to name just two


Take a look at Gordie Paul's green LC95 with black wheels .

I think that the green collies look really good with black alloys. Can't remember who's it is now, but there is a 95 on here with black wheels that I love the look of.

I did a straw poll on black alloys for Fiery and it was decided that they looked awfull and I had to agree I'm afraid

The wife downloaded an App for the iPad called 'Colour Splash' I think

Anyway it allows you do arty stuff like this



I also stole Trev's 80 wheels from off of Lil-Blue and fitted them onto Fiery just for some fun



Can't work out if I like the look of Black rims on Fiery



Maybe it's time for another Poll, do love a Poll

ok ok ok ok..... Stop picking on me. After taking a good look at the pics with and without the black rims, it turns out I like them, and more importantly so does SWMBO. So looks like I'm going Black

Well you know what they say...












Whatever floats your boat.


I will say, I actually prefer them in silver

 

[Shayne]

I've read some great reviews about Plasti-dip paint for wheels Chris it would save you a small fortune at the powdercoaters and with the bigger rubber your unlikely to mark them anyway .

 

[warrenpfo]

I did my wheels in black using an acid etch base and hammerite rattle can and I know most don't like black alloys on a silver car but they came out great.

I hope to be at lincomb for a day if you want to have a look.

 

[Chris Green90]

Thanks warren but it migjt be too late by then. Just plugged in the compressor.

Ah, yes Thats the vehicle, Geordie Paul's. I love it and always have, love the colour with the coded body mouldings, no snorkel, BFG,s and black alloys, very smart IMHO and just how my next one will look, when I upgrade to a LWB. Although the price of those 120's is still falling

You just need to get a bit of black paint on that spare wheel cover Paul

I think that black wheels is the right decision for your truck Chris, it'll look a bobby dazzler
