What wheel colour?

Post by ScottA » Fri Jun 15, 2018 7:27 am

Hi all - just got a space grey 23i with 313 wheels (Not sure if replica).

There's s little kerbing- annoyingly I did one 2nd day owned! - so thinking of refurbing but not sure what colour. I originally thought black but now thinking either charcoal or leftfield choice, dark bronze (sunken treasure type).

Struggling to find images online - wondered what looks best with the space grey.

Welcome Scott , they do look like reps & if not mistaken the car does look like a ex forum guy " A1GSS"
From distant memory he
had issues with the lacquer lifting on the alloys during winter whilst garaged. Hence not polished faces now :thumbsup:

Bronze does look good but not on Space Grey. :thumbsdown:

It’s like wearing Brown shoes with a Black suit.

Think a light anthracite would look stunning but also like the idea of a matt bronze :D

This got parked - unlike the car (See problem board lol). I have done the important stuff though and had it detailed! Looks gorgeous! Stationary but gorgeous :D

Oh and gloss black kidney grills
