Wheel colour time

Postby Oranoco on Sun May 27, 2007 9:53 am

Had planned to sort some new rims out for Noo but saddly the whole kitchen thing is eating into my car fund quite heavily. I'm not sure iI'm fed up with the dark rims or not so thought I'd put it to vote. I can't help thinking the normal silver looks cleaner.

As they are now (and it's tyre soap not kerbing)

As Mike said, the dark ones make it look stealthy and aggressive.

The silver make it look standard, which I prefer. :)

have the best of both worlds and do them in anthracite or a gunmetal colour? or be different and have them sprayed the same colour as the car?

I prefer the silver ones with the colour of the car. Black is ok on most colours but I don't think it suits silver/ grey cars. IMO that is
