I'm goin to be getting rid of my daily driver shortly and the wheels could do with a refurb i was thinking of doing them black but do you think this would put off potential buyer?

in short would you be put off a car if the standard alloys had been painted black?

Fiddy

No, if they look good

Picture of the car/wheels needed because some will look good and some will look council with the wheels painted black.

Why not repaint them in a standard alloy looking colour?

2k black is easier and cheaper than silver and clear coat easily be done in a day just convenience

Oranoco

Might be cheaper and easier but it may put people off. Some people see something non standard and think it's the spawn of Satan himself

Sllver tbh. Black will put people off imo.

yer this is what im getting at i dont want to put potential customers off, the car is no longer standard as its just a "silver" with st170 and sport bits but the wheels may be to big a change

Definately stick with silver wheels imo

It would look shit with black wheels so i'd say it'd put prospective buyers off.

Hi mate,

Please keep the alloy's standard silver, I bought a set of MP3 alloys off Ebay for Ł100 for my focus that were tatty and paid to have all 4 wheels refurbed to Fords original colour.

Now they are absolutely spot on, here is a pic:

they are the exact wheels I am after. do you want to swap them for Ł100 and a set of focus zetec alloys?

marky_g

wont be shelling out for a refurb, so they'll stay abit rough, no sorry but ill swap you the car for 2500 cash

I agree, as long as they aren't totally fucked then leave them alone. Its almost 10 years old so I think any prospective buyer would expect a bit of marking to the wheels!

Good call on the plates too, they look shit.

fuk off i love the plates
