Folks,
I'm looking at changing wheel colour next week and wanting to go dark of some sorts
some pictures I see I like and some others I don't, so looking for people who have the sprint blue saloon with dark wheels be it from gun metal up to gloss black and everything in between

Have you got black optics? Will look rubbish without them IMO.

I always thought the Colin McRae avant looked nice with black optics, colour coded mirrors and silver wheels:

It's gloss black without any lacquer, so its not as dull as matt black but i didn't fancy gloss, more like a satin black

Haha cheers. But I'm for ever seeing his car I've had his wheels off it twice
Admit tho his looks good and he only stays 5 min from me so as much as I like his look not wanting to copy him
