Just got these cheap of ebay, they look pretty awful but there only for the track, I was thinking matt black? any better ideas.........
Sticking with the matt black theme, if i did it, whats the best paint to use, dont want it flaking off the first time a tyre goes on it.
There to go on....

I agree for a track slag you should do a funky colour. Glow in the dark bright green n do a few night sessions

pink...... really? that really wasn't what I was expecting as a suggestion!
didn't know whether paint would survive a tyre change so I'll go the powder coat pukka job option. black for the track, gunmetal for the road ones
