Photoshop of some Ronal LS 15s painted powder coated grey

[Jon '92 325ic]

I have a dark blue '92 325ic e30 that I'm getting some Ronal LS 15 x 7.5 wheels for. I'm thinking to get the wheels slightly shaded / colored light grey. This website gives a good idea of what the profile of my car would look like with Ronals:

From this URL select the following options:

Body: Cabrio
Farbe: Blau
Felgen: ACT

The color I'm thinking of getting the Ronals painted can be seen here:

Could someone please photshop this shade?

Thank you,

Jon

Look at any 91 or 92 VW Jetta GLi 16V and they will have the two tone wheel like you are talking about.

They are BBS RA's but you can get the idea on how the look.

You can't post a link from tirerack like that. It doesn't work.

Thanks,

I was trying to link to their picture of the BBS RGR (bright satin sil paint). That one or the KOSEI K-1 TS (light grey painted). I'll try and find a link to one of these.

I think what you're looking at there is a "Hyper Black" coating.

On Tire Rack's website it says the color is "Bright Satin Sil Paint". Maybe this link will work:

I like how it softens the color (from a silver finish) without losing all the detail (like you would if you painted them black). I've got OEM basketweaves now and they look great, but I think they draw too much attention. Especially when looking at just the car's profile. I want to soften them a bit, without loosing too much of the detail of the basketweave on the Ronal. That way more attention goes back to the simple lines of the car's body, which is what I think makes it such a classic look (IMO).
