WHEELS - What colour are yours?

Post by JRG1210 » Fri Jan 03, 2020 3:01 pm

Hi All

I need to get my wheels repaired so good opportunity to try a new cololur / combination.

My paintwork is black and had my window surround and front grille surround de-chromed. Currently the wheels are anthracite but was thinking possibly matt black but open to better ideas / combinations.

any thoughts?

Not a fan of black wheels on a black car.

Audi titanium (code L8AU) looks good IMO

Call me old fashioned but I think that the original silver is the best with black.

I totally get it but wanted to modernise the car slightly. Maybe there could be best of both worlds? And get the wheels done in two tone like this...

Diamond cut face and gloss black inner rim like the look of those! Would be scared to death of kerbing them but they do look the nuts :thumbs:

Must admit I do like the original silver with a black car but if I was going for something different that would be a good choice :blackrs4:
