I have original turbo twists wheels. I have to refurbish them as they've oxidised on the inside.

1. I was thinking losing the silver surround to make wheels look bigger.

2. Going with a completely different colour.

What do you guys think?

Anyone painted the stock twists. Any photos would be appreciated.

Thanks.

 

Looks awesome

 

All yellow or silver, I prefer oem silver.

 

how about this color? im thinking to paint my stokies black by using plasti-dip

 

Mine are powder coated.

 

....

 

@MadWhip, I think shinny black on my yellow just wont look right.

@Ursoboostd

Nice, I am also thinking going the powder coated route. Is the paint tougher - stone chips? How about cleaning - comparing to the normal shinny paint?

 

:-0. I wish I hadn't used search!

Leave them as is. They look great! What color are the barrels?

 

silver

 

how about satin black with a yellow pin stripe around the edge ?

 

Madwhip;; was that plastdipped ?

 

Ok, I've decided to go without the lip. Optically I think it will make wheels slightly bigger. This is not a bad thing considering current wheels sizes. :-0. Guy who did it used poxy to repair the damage before painting and none of water based paints. Proper tough stuff. I suggest taking wheels off once a year and cleaning them on the inside. I will do this from now on.

 

Looks like a quality job=nice!

 

Nothing is easy! Wheels look great but the centre caps were all yellow. My car-painter said he won't paint the turbo sign in the centre wheel caps black. He said, his hands are too shaky. Damn. Well, after contemplating over night what to do I went at it myself. Pig of a job but I've got there. Hand painted and clear coated with a can spray to make it last. Proud me!
