Thread: Minilites - what colour

    Minilites - what colour

    Okay, so I have a full set of minilites that I will use for racing (for now) .... and need to make some decisions....

    I have two that I are power coated dark grey (been using these for the last 3-4 years - see first pic) and now have two silver ones that I have just purchased.

    The question is which looks best?

    Could even go a gloss black - but you lose all the nice lines in the minilite - may as well run a cookie cutter!

    I do really like the new 991 wheel that has a platinum colour on it - quite cool.

    Need opinions

    Harvey did my Minilites. They came out perfect. He knows the correct color and he knows enough to not over restore them. Too many people try to make perfect Minilites. A perfect Minilite is wrong.

    Minilites always look good in silver.

    They also look neat in a gold/brassy colour. Trust me.

    I love Minilites in a gun metal grey (satin finish). They need dish and width for silver IMHO.

    Tend to agree with Matt on this one - gives them a little different look without losing their visual appeal.

    Anyone else ?

    Agree with matt and you Alex.

    For 6's (without much dish) go with the grey you already have.
