I'm going to space out my vantage std 19 inch wheels 11mm front and 23mm rear, will be getting this done next week, I want to repaint the standard silver wheels in black my car is meteorite silver (dolphin grey)
i was thinking high gloss black but am unsure if I should do it satin black.
I want to bad boy my vantage a bit as I think it's a bit naf, having enjoyed it for years in it's standard form and covered some 30000km

can you guys who are on top top of your styling please give me your comments?feel free to rubbish my idea if you feel so, I won't take it to heart I'm trying to do this once because of costs.
whatever I do will be reversible and the spacers we are making will simply slip off as well.

all comments welcome

Perfect candidate for black chrome. I suggest you do some image searches, etc.

Personally, I’d keep the stock wheels and buy a set on eBay to modify, and have them shipped to a reputable facility for the process, I was able to negotiate with a seller on eBay for $500 for his perfect set that matched my current set. The ability to turn it back to stock was worth it in my personal scenario. Something to consider, anyway.

Nevertheless, I would strongly consider a black chrome route with your current exterior color. Imho, it would look stunning.

This car looks great!
its not an option to purchase wheels at this stage the USD price is not the issue it's the cost to get them here then add 15% adverlorim duties then add another 10% for some custom duty then add 15% vat onto the entire load puts a set in at nearly 100000.00 yes 100K for a car that is only worth say 800K is not wise considering its age.

in SA we get ripped off with duties remember we have a recorded 68 million people with less than 4 million Tax payers so the Government needs every angle to get cash, we can't get around it.

add that white people ( I'm not saying I'm white,are not allowed to work) it's discouraged to employ white males so we have a hard time here guys

so I will do what I can with limited resources, I will do the black accents as described and shown I really like it.

thanks guys any more pics will be appreciated

looks great ! What are your rims specs ? Along with the offsets?

Did you remove the trim from the car to wrap or have it done while still installed?

I just pm’d you. Just have a few more questions

Ok quick update, I have had the window trim and the rear defuser (silver) all done in satin black. 3M 10 year film the guy did it for me a bit of a favour on Sunday this cost came in at R1600.00 +- USD 120
i machined the wheel spacers myself I exhausted my options with suppliers who were unsure on the questions I asked and how many nuts and studs and and and.
being in SA help on these cars is not easy although Aston 40 on here who live 1500km away has been a great inspiration. I machined the spacers from T6062 aircraft alluminium, I have kept the standard 41mm studs stock in case I want to go back to standard
the rear spacer is 23mm and I have today had another mate with a bigger mill remove 3,4mm deeper into the bolt dish on the wheel itself, the rear spacer has a 12 mm deep spigot and now the wheel fits on and the new nuts will each have 7 turns this in engineering terms will be as good as OEM.
keeping the standard stud with no cutting.
the front I could not get happy with the suggested 11 mm spacer so made 10.22mm this gives sufficient spigot contact in the standard rim
bolts ok here is a thorn 14x2 @$&@&)! FsKe no one in Africa carries this .....so I have received from JHB a set of wheel nuts from eibagh with a 10x1.25 thread
I have machined it to a 12mm blank and am now cutting a 14x2 thread this is a time consuming job

wheels go in for paint tomorrow and all being good I will have the project completed by Thursday I will try to post pics
