White wheels on my white 500? What do you reckon?

[Azuremen]

What?

No!

No joke. They look awesome. Do you genuinely not think they suit the 500? They aren't even chrome so they don't look too bling.

I'd have to say those wires are pretty hideous. Just my 2 cents.

One man's meat is another's poison 👍 I've never much minded being in a minority which is just as well considering I'm the only one who seems to like those wheels

Oh good god
On a related note, I just found this;

Recoloured Ronal Turbos FTW. Except I'd have the centers the same colour as the bodywork. Or brown.

 

[TheCracker]

Those Ronals don't look bad at all 👍 - although they always appear a couple of inches smaller than they actually are.

 

[Keef]

Those aren't Ronal Turbos. They're similar, and I don't know what they are, but they aren't Ronals. Maybe a Turbo freak like Eirik could give some insight.

But yes, they're awesome. That car looks fantastic.

 

[Moglet]

They are very similar though, the only difference being the center and the slightly thicker lip;

I might be mistaken, but they could be the re-issued version of the ronal turbos. Eirik would definately know.
Buy them, now.

 

[Moglet]

I'll have to save up a fair bit first, I'm not even out of my overdraft yet! I really like the Merkur wide arches too.

 

[hemisport15]

Haha, no need to feel rushed. I'm not usually into the whole small car thing, but I don't think I have seen a 500 that I don't like.
And after looking at the wheels again, I thing they are Schmidt TH Lines.

You should look into Schmidt, they make some cool wheels.

 

[Moglet]

Thing is, 4 Schmidt wheels with tyres would probably come to about half the value of my car

i think nice black rims would look good..

Just thought I'd ask for your opinions on some wheels for my 500. I'm probably going to be going for some BK 299 wheels in 16" (17s would look stupid on my car) but I'm stuck on what colour to have them in!

The choices are;
-Gold with polished lip (Would look a bit silly on a white car IMO)
-White with polished lip (My initial choice, never seen any on a white car!)
-Matt black with polished lip (Also a consideration, but the matt black might just make it look dirty)
-High power black (A VERY nice colour, subtle and effective)
-Silver (Bit plain for me)
-Chrome (Errr...yeah.)
-Anthracite (Another understated choice, might look decent)

Here's how they look in black;

and in silver;

and the car they're going on;


What do you reckon? Would the white look a bit tarty? My initial choice would be high power black but the 500 is a quirky little thing that's already quite blinged out with it's chrome and whatnot so I reckon white wouldn't be bad!

I gave up on that idea since the insurance was too high on the Panda 100hp. It's only 2 insurance groups higher than the 500 but it went up by quite a bit, probably because of my location.

[TexRex]

Amazing. Twelve years on. @Moglet do you even still own the car?

No, I ended up getting rid of it in 2011!
