alright guys,

Just taken delivery of my 15 x 7 artec AD CUPS from dubmeister. I am also going to get 165/50/15 tyres fitted just for taking it easy i have the orig. bbs's with correctly fitted 195/45's on for long journeys/ grip etc so no worries in that dept. just after an opinion really what to do with them, they are black as i have a black car. I love the idea of having a cream car and the wheels colour coded however this ist going to happen anytime soon so i am just wondering if there as any kind of roof vynl covering simmilar to the roof prints for the minis or for the B pillars that we have. i was thinking of canyon red roof

and wheel centres,

what do we think, so will black car and red wheels go or not? any ideas much appreciated!!

appologies for spending the night in the local before posting this!!

Cheers Tom

If you have a black car, reds go very well if you ask me! even better than your cream idea...especially cranberryish red like canyon red...take this lupo for example (it only has colout coded wheels, interior and engine cover, but you get the idea) it looks stunning in the flesh!

Red and black work well, that Lupo looks nice.

KC has recently had a black vinyl roof, maybe worht speaking to him about it. Cost under Â£200 IIRC

Its much more cost effective and easyer to have ur roof painted guys as its less time cutting and bonding and that!

I have a m8 with a 1.4 lupo and hes gone the super orange porsche wheels and orange mirrors and roof!

And now his whole interior in orange centres and headlining orange with black leather on the rest of the seats and door cards orange centres, all for 450 quid in leather and quilted centres like the diamond look!

So thats my xmas bonus on my interior lol!

I think orange would be kl or cream roof!

red is the sportyer look i rekon on black cars, my silver polo with black mirrors and roof looks mean!

Yeh I stand corrected, just read KCs thread and he got it for Â£120, not Â£200.
