Obviously yours will look better than this, but here is a quick dirty chop of one with turbofans on err i dunno 15s?  I'm in love! 😍 Alas the regular puma looks quite slab sided in comparison to the pumped up haunches of the FRP. |

Completely different look, but I reckon a set of these old Sierra wheels might look good on it  |

Soooo....., grand plans for wide 13's have been abandoned. The Capri pots have sold locally, destined for a KA getting a 1.6 conversion. Meanwhile...... I spotted an action ending that I really couldn't not bid on, and ended up winning a set of wheels (with several years old but good tread tyres) for a measly £21. Buyer said pay £20, I offered another £10 but was refused. The wheels in question....  A set of 5 Pug 205/309 Speed lines in needing a spruce up but actually pretty good condition. I'm wondering if the Puma can pull off gold, maybe with a polished lip like the 309 Goodwoods had. I've started un-Peugeoting in the centre caps.  I've got to sort out some spigot rings and flat seat nuts to get them on which can happen while they get painted. |

Can I put in a vote for not gold?
I think it's a bit played out on a black car and you can do better tbh.

My only other thoughts have been a sort of charcoal, like I had on the Borbets and Andy has on the wheels of the lupo. It has some light silver trim inside so the wheels would probably work in a pretty OEM finish, but I really don't want them to look like they have just been unbolted from a 205 and fitted to mine. |

I think I had a thread on the general section a few months ago on Gold wheels. Some look lovely, and others just not right. Great bargain on the wheels, I had been looking for a cheap set, but am pleased I found the ones on the Berlingo. |

Played out to the extent that I saw a black AMG G-Wagon with massive gold wheels full JPS livery  My only other thoughts have been a sort of charcoal, like I had on the Borbets and Andy has on the wheels of the lupo. It has some light silver trim inside so the wheels would probably work in a pretty OEM finish, but I really don't want them to look like they have just been unbolted from a 205 and fitted to mine. That Ford metallic charcoal (whatever it's called) would work well IMO. |

I've always been a fan of black cars on dark bronze wheels, which is what I have gone for on my is200...   Looking forward to seeing how this turns out |

Looking forward to seeing how this turns out Didn't know you were hiding on here Alf  Mark, looking forward to seeing what you make of the Puma, almost everything you touch turns to gold (especially wheels for some reason). Always makes me laugh seeing your cars pop up on fb, completely unchanged from when they left your hands! |

I like the dark bronze look actually. TBF its black you could choose any colour.  Anyway of dismantling the tail lights and making all the round lenses red?  Cant decided whether that would look good or curse word |

Staying safe with charcoal grey, or living dangerously with Roman Bronze?  |

I think a lighter bronze might look good, or one with more of a flake to it

that bronze look quite brown in the pics, might look good with a gold lip, and gold pinstripe. Either way, i vote bronze.
