I have purchased a set of RL7's for my 3dr that are currently Gloss black but i can't make my mind up which colour to have the powdercoated.

Anthracite



Subaru Gold



Suggestions

 

orange no i think they would look good in a slate grey blue ish colour

joe

 

this colour

 

I like the gold

 

x2

 

gold for me too

 

gold do look good but then i think i would suit a gold pin strip

 

Gold mate, but make sure it's a light gold. Don't get them powdercoated as there a weak wheel as it is. Get them wet painted. I'll dig a pic of mine in Gold.

 

Cheers Paul

 

as said chris gold, unless you're sick of them already then do them white for me mate

nice purchase...

 

gold for me or maybe black

 

i would go gold

but black would look good too

 

white?

 

I 2nd white But anthrecite otherwise...

 

Anthrichite for me ,any pics of them gloss balck

 

IMO I'd say keep the wheels you have on it in your sig picture. But RL7's are legendary wheels (I have them myself!) so a good replacement choice. I would say anthracite. If you do go Gold, IMO I think you need the gold pinstripe as well.

 

from another thread think he wants big brakes

 

As Paul said a bright gold would work well , or the bronze colour you get on Volk wheels .

 

More importantly where did you get a set Chris ? And anthracite btw.

 

Both colours look great, will be very hard to pick

Not keen on the white just from the fact they appear dirtier faster

 

Not gloss more like satin and done with a rattle can

I bought them blind really as they weren't even advertised as Racelines but Comp MO 6 the are 8x18 ET33

After some brief information from the seller he described them as needing a refurb which they do - i asked about the weight to try and work out the material and he said they were heavy but after they arrived and an inspection for cracks it appears they are more than likely magnesium (due to some what look like crack repairs) but i will get that confirmed.

How they stand





Now i have a decision to make, keep them and refurbish or sell on

 

i think i heard that all rl7 have a mag content the 18's having the highest

i would speak to paul ripley about refurbing mag wheels

he has tried everyone i think

 

I will send him a pm over on escos website

 

gold

 

I have a set of gold RL7's on my 500, if you go to the photo section you will see under swoosh 500's pics a few of my 500 with them on, these were speced by Raceline when i bought them as they were 7,3/4" by 17" to clear the body kit from rubbing and this is the colour they came in from the factory, had to wait 3 months for the cast to be done, have had them easy 10 years now and still as new, really good finish from the factory.

 

both look the dogs mate you cant go wrong white pain in the arse to clean

 

graphite colour, high gloss though!

 

+ for "volk" bronze

 

+1 for gold...my daily

 

Ah mate, they should be white and it'll match mine

 

lol not exactly..theres a difference under bonnet ha ha but maybe not for too long.........

 

 

They look amazing in gold shame their gone

 

Anthracite.

Gold wheels look shite on everything apart from 22B's.

 

imo gold rl7's look fantastic on a black (or white) 3dr. ive got rl7's on my saff

 

personally like the look of the standard silver on the black cars

 

Mine are 18" in white, pain in the arse to keep clean but look great when all cleaned up

 

I agree, I see silver making a huge comeback over anthrecite soon. Nice, easy to maintain colour

 

anthracite or silver for me.

can you not squeeze bigger brakes behind CXNs? seems a waste as they are the best wheel out there for a 3dr

 

Paul do you have a paint name or colour code for them?
