Good colour choice!

What colour are you going to do the centre caps?

I've got some black wheel nuts on order (with the conversion washers - as all the black nuts I find are tapered, except the CR ones, and I am not paying £8 per nut...)

So I thought I would match the centre caps to the nuts, rather than trying to paint match with the Anthracite powder coating.
So gloss black, but tempted to get some red H stickers for them too, put some lacquer over the top of the sticker maybe to make sure its a good finish.

The colour on the refurbished wheels look fantastic. I'd like to get mine done in this colour, do you know exactly what the colour is called and the paint code please?

I think it looks badass.
I have a set of OEM 16's that I use in the winter. That's a real nice color.

I painted a set of wheel centre caps this evening, not sure how I feel about the red H at the moment.




Wheel nut conversion washers and the black lockers have arrived too. Just waiting on the rubber now, ordered from TyreGuru thinking was going to be UK based, but there is 2 tyres on way from Poland and 2 from Germany. So may take a while.
