About to start prep for my summer steelie revamp shortly but a little stuck on ideas.

recently reading a show us your steelie thread has got me thinking.

Black with black caps? )current winter tyres)
White with black caps?
Black with a white lip?
red with black caps? (current summer tyres)
Or something else.
Gold has crossed my mind once of twice.

Apologies for the bad photos and mud these country lanes are vile atm.

Be as honest as you like guys I'm after your opinion.

I like the idea of painting the dish white or a colour but having the centre and cap in black
There's a red T5 in the mentioned thread with white steelies. I do like the clean look of them but not sure how hard they are keep clean with brake and road dust.

My summer rims are red with black cap but fancy a change this summer.

Im going to try the white wheels :)

Just waiting for some stuff on eBay to sell and once I've paid for her tax I can fund her new rims.

I will be doing a simple rattle can job until I no I'm happy with the white and then I will go and get them powder coated.
