Anyone thought about painting their 22inch SVR alloys gloss black?


If anyone could Photoshop it for me i would be very grateful

I'm not sure of the colour of the car your putting them on but have a look at my gallery for gloss black 22" wheels on a new sport .
I will post some new pictures now the car has been detailed and it looks how a new car should.

Apologies meant to say Estoril Blue


Looks spot on for your colour combination that i saw in your gallery

My mate has had them done - estoril with a black roof - IMHO it does not look very nice - the wheels get hidden in the car and make them look smaller.

I had a pic on whataspp from when he collected the car but I cant find it think I deleted it...he's now sold the car so can't ask for a pic!

OP I've pm'd you.

I would like to see a photo too, if anyone has one. I've ordered my SVR with the 22" wheels, but I hate the chrome type look.

The Spectre SVR has gloss black wheels. 

I have both the 21 inch and 22 inch wheels, intended for winter and summer use and after buying the 22 inch wheels, I managed to damage one even before they went on the car. I just bought a new one because I couldn't find anyone who could repair them. Diamond turned wheels are a pain, pure and simple, because the mirror finish seems to be impossible to fix if it gets damaged.

So, given the cost of the wheels, painting them is a viable alternative to (not) being able to refurbish them. I have gloss black wheels on a 911 GT3 and am very happy with the look. How well it would work with the SVR, I do not know. Mark

SVR in Estoril Blue

So far I've done three cars with black wheels (apart from the Spectre cars) as test cases; two in Firenze and one Estoril. All three look brilliant in my opinion.
As its factory paint its obviously durable but I don't have any info regarding selling it. I'd suggest giving our Vehicle Personalisation team a call at Oxford Road.

Romans have one with 22'' gloss black wheels

Yup, not for me. 

Nor me. Might work with a different colour car like Indus or even white but does not work IMHO with Estoril.

In separate "news", I fitted the front mud-flaps to mine yesterday, quite easy as they bolt onto a pull out section of the sill cover. The wheels don't need to come off, just raise the car to off-road height and turn the steering to one side. The most difficult part was getting the replacement captive nut which holds the sill cover in place to sit properly which required the hole in the underlying plastic frame to be enlarged by a couple of mm. The labour content is shown as 0.7 hours. Even taking account of this being the first time I've fitted these, it's not much time for a proper job.

The rears are altogether a bigger issue. Wheels have to come off and you have to drill a hole in the rear bumper cover. Yikes.. Never was the adage "measure twice, cut once" more true. I'll fit them in a couple of weeks when I switch back from summer 22s to M+S 21s. Roll on this severe winter some say we're going to get... Mark

SVR in Estoril Blue

If I had the Estoril I would consider having Anthracite as I had a blue Impreza sti widetrack with anthracite alloys & they do look nice on blue cars,,I agree black looks nice on white or red cars.
I fitted these on my white sport as the all black alloys do look small in the arches so I went with black & silver & they do fill the arches better.



Here's a few pics of my old scooby in blue with anthracite alloys.
