You are going above and beyond what I thought you would do. Cheers to taking the time and doing it right!

When you are done it will look like they came that way.

Haha you know that Brother, pretty proud of myself for doing these right! was a bit sketchy at first as one wrong move = game over, but after the first two wheels I was pretty confident.

Will be taking two wheels back into work tommorrow to give them the sculpting treatment with emery & parrafin, then I can finally get some gold paint on them..damn cant wait to see what they look like Factory fresh I hope

That absolutely MAKES those wheels. They are going to POP when you get them painted too.

Hell yeah should make the whole car sing! Bit of a lunchtime emery & paraffin session bought good results, maybe a bit more elbow/grease autosol will get them mirror finish.

those wheels are incredible.

Cheers matt, come out alright haven't they, apart from a few scuff marks (one pit mark has filler in it, so I cant polish that,lol)
Next time you see these they will have some paint on

you have 4x4 drive train? with a 1.6L sohc? i only have front wheel drive with my rs. its rusted like crazy i needa fix up the body. i was thinking about going turbo but then i figured if just tune out the SOHC and motor swap to a DOHC a nice one and then turbo that one out (although im not sure what im going to do because i already got corksport headers)

sam's car is FWD, as with 99% of the car's on this forum.

yes i get that but someone said you can make the mx3 4x4 but i never really heard much about it

Had to stump up another £57 to get my clutch out of customs & delivered to me, so here it is now! ON the dining room table,lol


Having a real difficult time deciding exactly which wheel colour, as metallic grey has been thrown out there as being a bit more modest and understated then Gold, although I do love the Gold as brings some colour into the mix I feel grey might be more me and
in keeping with the nature of the mx3?! (plus I don't how I would feel driving a red car with gold wheels, maybe too flash,lol)

This would be the other paint:

Gold wheels on MX-3s are too much flash, always found that Cops paid more attention to mr hen I had my gold wheels.

And have you considered silver rims? I think it's called hyper silver but I've seen it on a couple red cars and it looks awesome.

Gunmetal Grey would look nice too I think.

Not to blow up your WL with pictures I will add the URLs

These all look quite nice with gold/bronze!

If you go for a silver I would suggest going for something a little darker like a gunmetal metallic. What you have above is nice too. It is your car and you should be happy with whatever color you choose. I would put two wheels on your car take a pic and start photoshopping to make an informed decision

You going to run heavy clear on them or leave them as is?

I really cant seem to get enough of them

Haha Good times! The centers will be cleared but the dishes left 'oh natural. Need to score rim wax to give them a fighting chance
of staying clean!
