Got My New Wheels

[Loweboy]

Got my new 18's fitted, Im happy with them. What you people think? Does anyone know how easy it is to paint the calipers, and if you need speacial paint, or will normal hamerite do the job? Thanks.

Why isnt the WIM meet over on LOC's meet section!! First i've heard :( Damn it, its the same day as the blackpool meet, decisions decisions!

Wheels look great B)

Doing the calipers is easy mate. I used acrylic spray paint on mine (with chrome Lexus stickers) clicky. Smooth hammerite is fine too which is what I had used before when I had the calipers in bronze rather than black. I used clear laquer over the top of the stickers for some extra protection.

Love the wheels! im a big fan of 5 spoked wheels. What colour u thinking off doing ya calipers cos they will showup well nice between the spokes. I ordered mine on eBay..u get the kit, Cleaning spray, Hardener, Paint, Application brush. It suppose to be hard wearing, good gloss retention, but im going to put a coat of laquer on top anyway. Only thing is i can't seem to find any "Lexus" front caliper stickers on eBay. I've noticed i always post after tigerfish LOL and im also a fishkeeper, but im into Ranchus and lionheads.

I bought some Savage caliper paint from eBay...

2 pack epoxy paint that sets rock hard.. there are plenty other types on eBay

I have also heard many people use hammerite, but it isn't as long lasting..

Thanks for all the replys. as for the caliper colour, im not too sure yet, i was thinking black, but i did want them to stand out a bit more so black's not the greatest for that. Not too sure what other colours would look right though. Any suggestions??

[aztecbandit1]

Looking very nice mate i do like those wheels :D The Savage caliper kit is great and thats what i'll be using the next time i do mine again the hammerite still looks good though and a cheeper option and very easy to do :D

I think I would go for yellow with your colour car.

[Loweboy]

They are RVS Falcons from Elite.

Im not sure about yellow on the blue car, they look good on the plat ICE, but i think i would have to see a pic of them on my colour car. I might have a go with paint and have a look. I will post some pics of the different colours when i can. Thanks.

wheels look nice but the leds look a little weak/dim tho

[Loweboy]

yeah im not too pleased with the leds, some seem brighter than others and dont give an even spread of light, im going to get some other ones and see if they make a difference.
