Some of you may remember reading a thread from when I first got the car in December and how I was considering painting the wheels. Despite everybody saying do them white, I decided not to be a sheep and did them gloss black with different badges in the centre. I also completely stripped down all the calipers, ground lips off the disks, painted the edges of the disks gloss black along with the outsides of the pads and did the calipers red. Im happy with the results, what do you guys think? Any comments good or bad are welcome :)

I'm not a fan of full black wheels on some cars, but that looks good. By the way I used to have black wheels on my Calibra, so have been there before ;)

I think black or white looks good on red. Surprising what a lick of paint can do.

Thanks for the love guys lol. Marts66: You obviously know the area then ;) lived around here or something?
Regarding the mesh, it was part of my plan along with laguna splitter (possibly gloss black), motobuild springs and old school black and silver plates just for photos and the obligatory 45 lights.
Im going to hold my horses for the time being though because my mum needs a 5 door car and has taken a shine to my ZS. So Im thinking if I can find a reasonably priced 180 I can swap the wheels so that my mum will have a more standard looking car.
Its good to see people are inspired too :)
