Jetfire Report post Posted February 8, 2015 That's where I got the idea. I think your car is perfect. Super stealth with a little bling. And a little bit of manual! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth sidious Report post Posted February 8, 2015 Mine are painted a very dark grey on the 6 mag wheels and piano black on the Murcie Helcules. Very happy with both. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
limey Report post Posted February 9, 2015 Do not attempt to powder coat, the material has to be stripped bare, when they do this it removes all the sealants the speed line used to fill in the hack tracks and pot holes, powder coating will then blister and PPP in all the imperfections, you will not succeed!

toyroy2003 Report post Posted February 9, 2015 Didn't 6.0s come with Brembo on the calipers? If I do VI calipers should I do Brembo in black to keep original theme or put the Lamborghini insignia ? Correct for all 6.0 cars EXCEPT the 6.0 SE cars. They had the "Lamborghini" insignia on them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyroy2003 Report post Posted February 9, 2015 Talk to Roy ... the car already had the wheels coated when I bought it. I would be interested to learn what you find out though! Nope yours are painted also. The shop I use [paints the calipers in a high heat paint that wears quite well. The wheels get painted as well in a high impact/heat paint and coated with the same material in clear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Report post Posted February 9, 2015 IMO, I like the Black on the car (mine done here, were painted) but some like the 100% OEM stock look. I have an extra set of BRAND NEW 6.0 wheels I keep stored away just in case... If you do go Black, I think you need to make the Brake Calipers VI with Black insignia lettering I am with Roy! Black for sure and brake calipers in VI would be SICK!!! I have black wheels (yellow calipers) on my Murcie and it makes a world of a difference!

OVI Report post Posted February 9, 2015 I vote go black, but paint them. and do the VI calipers also. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VCR Report post Posted February 9, 2015 On VI, darker wheels would likely look better. But since your other bull already have black wheels, have you considered titanium/gun metal instead? I think VI with titanium would be spectacular. And 1 more vote on doing the calipers in VI as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

murcivu Report post Posted February 9, 2015 I think if you go with the gunmetal or matte black, you'll be able to see the design of the wheels more. Gloss black kinda hides everything. Those pics look fantastic with the vi calipers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VCR Report post Posted February 9, 2015 Thanks SingleSeat for the PShop to convey my suggestion. The 3rd/last one (smokey steel/titanium, Post #45) that you did is exactly what I am saying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingleSeat Report post Posted February 9, 2015 The car makes all the dark wheels look good. I do think that last one strikes a good balance between a modern black and the beauty of OEM, just like the VI does for the entire car -- a rare opportunity to be non-stock, but still look stock. It'd take a concentrated effort to make that car look bad. Bring on the WING! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
