19's What Colour??????
Posts
Post 628751 by iancho on 2013-07-24 22:19:05
I'm finding it incredibly difficult to find a colour I like for the 19's... I think they deserve to look that little bit special as they are so unusual.... I could do with your input guys as I am struggling to find anything I like.
To give you an idea I like JT's in his Sig pic and also TC's old Silver V70 or 855 I cannot remember which model it was...
The Body shop guy has literally thousands of colours to choose from in his books so if by some sheer stroke of luck you had a paint code aswell.
To give you an idea I don't want anything to Dark... as you can see from the pic's below... Please feel free to put pic's of your own cars up to give me ideas...
All suggestions will be great fully received either positive or negative!
I prefer this brighter look.... but it's not Bright enough I want a more Silver/Metal colour
Cannot get used to this Darker look and know I won't be happy unless it's Brighter....

Shadow chrome with silver metallic, just had mine done and they are fab :)
Post 628754 by no1tosh on 2013-07-24 22:26:56
i would go for a high, coarse metallic silver, maybe a dark silver. i can picture the colour, just can't remember the colour code lol.
ill have a look in the colour books at work tommoz for you.

Sounds great Matt... if you could mate please :smile:
Post 628758 by t5 pete on 2013-07-24 22:30:53
I had dark wheels on my v70r but never liked them I wished I went for a lighter colour imho ide go some where inbetween the two pics you have put up maybe a little lighter but not too light
Post 628759 by iancho on 2013-07-24 22:32:12
They look really nice Neal, thankyou matey :smile:
Post 628760 by iancho on 2013-07-24 22:33:14
Your right Pete... that's where I want to be somewhere inbetween :smile:
Post 628762 by no1tosh on 2013-07-24 22:33:36
ohhh ya now they look good neal, if i had a saffy i would be having a gun metal like pete.
just re- read your post, you want brighter? i would still go for a high, coarse metallic to give them some sparkle. your gonna want a silver that has quite a lot of transparant white in it, to brighten it up.
Post 628764 by iancho on 2013-07-24 22:36:28
Hmmm... Thanks for that Matt :smile:

Why didn't any of us think of that Steve? :P
Post 628776 by AndysR on 2013-07-24 23:00:42
Saffy's look good with the anthracite finish, gives the car a purposeful mean look. imho the silver looks too mainstream and normal...
Post 628786 by T5frankie on 2013-07-25 04:18:19
Can't you see silver doesn't suit your car?
Go black you'll never go back lol

Lol... your's look good in white but i'm not sure about mine! :smile:
Post 628941 by Biff on 2013-07-25 19:57:22
I'd keep it dark. I was behind a 13 reg small Citroen van with windows (you know what I mean lol) & it was a really lovely metallic grey. It was very deep paint that would still be dark but add a bit of bling..
Carbon dipped wheels are gash, trim bits you can get away with but wheels are a big no I think.

Post 628969 by Tomcat on 2013-07-25 20:36:31
I'd say dark car, light wheels, light car, dark wheels..Having dark wheels on a dark car usually makes the wheels look lost.

Cheers Jim, I know you all think they should be Dark but I think it just makes the car look Gloomy and Boring... Plus the fact that I cannot get used to the Darker look.
I was going for a kind of Bright Chrome look until I think it was a guy called POD put some pic's up of his Saffy the other day with Bright wheels, although I liked them I thought that's just too much for the 19's.
So I changed my mind again!

Had my wheels done earlier this year on my Bora , these are actually three colours with the outer rim looking like polished, inner dark grey to hide the brake dust and a mid to bright in the centres they use these colours a lot on BMWs. Peter

Guys I know this is a big ask but is there any chance you could take a Profile shot so I can see what both wheels look like on the cars from a distance?

I'm sticking with my first choice of BMW Sparkling Graphite...
I still say silver is too light for a saffy with dark trims but you gotta do whatever makes you happy mate ;)

I have a couple of pic's of Sarkey's wheels, you can see in the second one they look lighter when in direct sunlight, a good compromise me thinks.

Quite possibly, he has went for a really dark theme. I wouldnt go as dark as that, but I wouldnt have the baws to do half of what he has done :P

Martyn that was extremely kind of you to Photoshop all the Different Shades whilst I was offline last night, it really helps and I can stop looking everywhere else :smile:
Thanks for all the input Guys.... Now I have had chance to sleep on it and seen Martyns Photoshop.... Black will be to Dark and Depressing for me....
3 and 4 are looking good for me at the Mo... I could still put Gold Fleck in as it sounds quite nice Frank :smile:
If i'm not sure all I have to do is come and look at this Page again, thanks Vk :B_thumb:
Now I Just waiting for Neal to come back with a Side shot of his Motor to see what they look like from a distance as they also looked really good :smile:

Hey many thanks Neal :smile:
They do look really nice in the Profile, that could just be the winner as it's not too dark or too bright... Thank you for going to the trouble Neal I do appreciate it :smile:

Dark silver with gold sparkles - nice :)
Not a hard effect to do either. If I can manage it with rattle cans...
I appreciate the sparkles are green on this wheel but you get the idea :)

4 mate. Allll day. Gotta be really glossy though.
Post 631293 by no1tosh on 2013-07-31 21:04:06
ive been beaten to it, i was gonna suggest black with a bit of gold pearl/mica in it, and if you chuck a touch of copper pearl/mica in it should send it a little more orange rather than yellow.
i did see a really nice grey on a mk1 v40 this morning. it looked like a light gun metal grey.

I personally like silver wheels and think they will look good, I'm sure some people will point out the black mirrors/lights on your car and maybe say you should have gone darker.
At the end of the day, if your happy thats all that matters mate.
Looking forward to seeing the car at TRAX.

I think the colour will suite the car.

Looking forward to you unveiling them mate, they're gonna look massive in silver!

Post 635206 by M-R-P on 2013-08-14 09:57:36
Good quality paint job there Ian. I'm still not sure about the colour, I'll have to see them on the car but the main thing is that you're happy with them.
Post 635209 by stribo on 2013-08-14 10:03:56
They look great Ian, glad you went for silver, as it won't look like I'm copying you when.I get mine done.

I'm not sure if I am happy with them Martin... I'm still worried I have got it all wrong, I just wanted to try something different... Like you i'm waiting to see :)

I'm looking forward to seeing yours as I never forgot the idea you told me.... I'm now more interested in my 18's as they will be Black but with a twist.... I wanted to do it on the 19's but i'm fed up of waiting for the car and just want it back now :cry:

Cheers Graeme they do look nice if not a bit Bright! :)
I would like to thank you all for your help and advice in this thread, I know I haven't always listened to you all but it has been taken on board! (watch with the 18's)
Thanks to all of you whom took the trouble to take photo's it meant a lot... I can Honestly say I haven't enjoyed the experience there is just too much choice and it's never easy when your trying something different.... This still Bugs me... I really liked Colins wheels....
Post 635452 by graemewelch on 2013-08-14 22:20:14
if you do find them to bright theres nothing to stop you getting a dark pearl put in some lacquer to give them a darker effect

While the Spare 19 is on I thought it would be a good opportunity to compare the two.... I know you 'Dark Boys' are going to kick me lol
Post 639677 by partsforvolvos.com on 2013-08-30 16:21:14
there is only one thing for sure- they 're huuuuge !
what's the turning circle like?
Post 639682 by M-R-P on 2013-08-30 16:33:19
still needs to be much darker imo mate.
also, have you noticed how they make the brakes look tiny?
I think you should donate them to someone with mahoosive brakes so they can be put to good use ;)

lol Jamie.... It's not too bad actually mate, no worse than the 18's.... Plus I have the added bonus of driving steady for the first time EVER as I'm looking out for holes and defects in the road to protect the 19's... Which is a new experience for me and quite a pleasant one at that. :)

That would be us then, as although your (wife's) front brakes are slightly bigger, the rears are tiny. :P

Christ I hope not Graham not after all the work that's been done.... I will go and see him on Monday and give him some encouragement!
Cannot get used to this Darker look and know I won't be happy unless it's Brighter....
Photos unless the are edited wont do it justice, they are darker than this.
