If it's any help, this is mine:

Ming Blue Pearl saloon with anthracite powder coated standard wheels. I really like them, though it does get called a drug dealers car by some and they may have to be changed for big brakes. :?

My Ming Blue S4 looks nothing like that. How the hell have you got it to look so glossy? :notworthy:

Bit of a cheat in bumping the levels in the shadows of the photo to bring out the detail in the blacks. :D

Thanks, that sure does look shiny.

I like the wheels, might go for slightly lighter shade of matt grey.

Dog you thinking of selling your wheels if you get bigger barkes?

Woof! :lol:
I will be selling them but to be honest I'm trying to hold off as long as I can. Just taken voluntary redundancy and not looking for work till Nov so ~£2k on new wheels and brakes seems a little foolish right now, as tempting as it is! :?

I'd say go for it, I really like the stealthy look it gives. :D

Got the same reps on mine, paid about £650 though and got Yokohama Parada tyres. I think they look ok, but have noticed they scratch pretty easy need to be careful when removing or replacing....
