Someone posted a picture of their LS before with LS Zetec rims, powdercoated or painted black...i've looked around on the search thread for a while but I can't find the pic...anyone remember who it was? I've come across a set of Zetec rims (I prefer the chunky LS design to the LT) and I was wondering how they'd look painted matt black on my silver LT...

If your going to paint your wheels black, why spend more money on a set of XR5 wheels when no one can see the design?
I just feel like your forking out close to 1g for a set of wheels that are 1" larger than the Zetec wheels. |

You could just drive around for a while, use the brakes repeatedly and don't wash your wheels :P

I saw a VS the other day with HSV wheels on it...he'd painted them yellow with a spraycan...on the car. With the tyres still on. Without masking anything. All 4 tyres were covered in a random pattern of overspray...
