just thought as they're standard wheels I'd make them a little different.

they would look great on my car

not 100% sure myself .could always do the other 2 with silver instead of the red ,one colour each side or mix them up!

what about all black  silverRRS 2.7 TDV6 22"WHEELS FULL COLOUR CODE,STEPS,REMAP..gone

erm no, gazz.need a little bit of colour ,could try a touch of pink lol.they need to be a bit different from the norm of one colour.it's taken me ages to get them done.this is the first time I've used water based paint,haven't done any spraying for years and back in the day I only learnt from watching someone else & having a go.probably why I get so many runs that I then have to flat & polish out.

looks a nice job mate ,if your getting runs leave a little longer to tack off between coats  silverRRS 2.7 TDV6 22"WHEELS FULL COLOUR CODE,STEPS,REMAP..gone

Not really. Loudness is complex and quite subjective. 1 dB is 1.3 times the power and 1.1 times the amplitude. 

Also, the tyre noise ratings are for external noise i.e. for people stood at the roadside. Noise inside the cabin can be louder on a "quiet" tyre if the frequencies are "wrong". 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

cor blimey this is getting complicated.so would 1 dB be quite noticeable or negligible ,has anybody got/had uniroyal on there rrs,or would it be best to stay with the pirelli's..Could do with rim protectors,got kerbed on all my current wheels!!!!!!
