Ordered 17" Kentaur rims, should I have them painted?

JonA · 25-02-2008, 18:20

Hi!

I have ordered a set of Kentaur 17" (the ones that can be ordered with the Roomster Scout) wheels to use in the summer on my FabiaII, and I'm thinking of having them painted..

When I bought the car I had decided to buy the O.Z. ultraleggera wheels to use as summerwheels, but after some thinking I have decided that they are to expensive, so I went "cheap" and bought the Kentaurs instead..

If i have them painted they would have to be either some sort of dark/gunmetal colour or white like the O.Z. superturismo ones.

What do you guys think?

I'd keep them standard or possibly paint them white.

The standard wheels have a nice pearlescent finish to them.

You should have bought a cheap set of Mk1 octy elegance wheels if you wanted to paint them, same style.

Thanks for helping out with the pictures Nutztoys!

Thanks to all others for your opinions as well! Guess I'll go for the standard colour then

Have to order some tyres as well, I'm thinking of Pirelli P ZERO NERO 215/40 ZR17 83Y

Does anyone have any experience with these tyres?

Get them painted gloss black it would really look good on the white car. i'm gonna get a set of team dynamics 1.2 pro race alloys in black.

No, and by the looks of the weather we have these days it looks like it will take some time before it's time for summer wheels

I got back from +30 c in Egypt and Israel today, and had hoped to be greeted by "spring", but we have more snow and -7 c..

I have put on the Pirelli P Zero Nero's on the Kentaurs, so I'm good to go when the right weather comes along

Happy Easter!!
