Black Stormers Yes or No ???
Thanks to buellbeast i managed to get a set of Genuine Stormers with 274/45 20 Coopers on.
BUT before i go mad and have them coated in gloss black i thought i would do a bit of photoshopping to see what it would look like with black grille n stuff.
Although not as beautiful as ronp's awsome landmark
What do you think chaps shall i go for it - Nara Bronze (Black Edition) ??? LOL
or shall i stick with silver
Before
After with Photoshopped wheels and grilles

I'm thinking the same as you DSL thats why i did the photoshop before i shell out £200 to have them powder coated and a load on landmark grilles

Well thats it then "green light thunderbirds are go"
What about the centre caps any ideas where i can get some from ?? I'll get them painted at the same time.
I priced up both powder coating and a painted total refurb of the wheels and got priced the same, £50 per rim.
Which is the best - i presume the powder coating ?2007 RS4 Avant

I used the wheel specialist, they have samples of each colour. They also did my centre caps for a fiver each and left the land rover logo in the middle. There are branches nationwide, phone for a price don't just take on line price as gospel.Joined the BMWX5 45e group

I like the look
Although a black sump guard will surely look awful once it gets scratched and the silver shows through, unless of course it is purely cosmetic and won't see any real off road action
