I guess turbobricks is always right

I followed the poll I put up about painting my wheels and I'm happy with the results. I think the blue brakes look good cause they're subtle. The s70 center caps are coming soon.

Finally, a set of Draco's that actually look nice! They go good with the car and I like that you are not running the ugly centercaps.

Looks good! I like the dark blue brakes, too.

[SteveMD]

Not bad at all. Congrats.

[vicskimmer]

those things look sharp. keep up the nice work

I like the dark blue brakes a lot. Looks very good and subtle.

With that color scheme you have, I would invest in some clear lenses/reflectors for your front turn signals. The eye goes straight to them in the second picture.

Wow, that turned out really nice! Good job!

[Oreo931]

Yum! They came out great :). I dont know how I feel about the brakes, but since you can hardly see them anyways I wont comment. Great job on the wheels though!

[boosted]

nice wheels.. but those tires are uber tall!

[Dauntless]

nice wheels.. but those tires are uber short!
Fixed...

I think black center caps and chrome lug nuts would make it look even better.

Here's what I did with the ones on my 940 wagon when I still had her:

The newer center caps fit pretty well in the hub holes. I padded mine out by wrapping some electrical tape around them to take up a bit of the slack and they held just fine.

needed more e-code, still really nice tho

Could someone post pictures of Virgos in this gray color.

Looking good. More picks of the brakes? What kind of paint did you use?

The color looks great, and the benefit to dark centers - brake dust is so much less obvious

Your wheels were exactly what I was going after, they look great.

I used a wire brush on the brakes to clean them up then put some primer. I used Testors model paint. I hear it stays on as long as it's enamel. They come in little jars and can be found at any hobby store. They I just sprayed some clear coat.

Looks like we have the same taste in tires as well. Need to get a new set of those for my S60.
