224m wheel colour options

Good choice w silver-ish!
Mine are still dark antracite which is too dark against interlagos blue. I’ll refurbish them OEM silver.

Just gorgeous Bing. Perfect colour and really highlights the detail on the 224s. So that's Black Chrome or Shadow chrome?
Thank you :oops:

They are black chrome - though they called it chrome over black. It’s tricky to get right, and because of that each wheel is very slightly different even though they were done side by side. You have to look really hard. I was pleasantly surprised by how the colour keys into the silver grey without taking the overall look of the car down. I just hope I never kerb them as a matching repair will be impossible :cry:
Current... Silver Grey ///M Roadster, non-flimper spec, Imola Red nappa, permanent ear-to-ear grin 8)

Briefly had gloss black to sit on over winter... looking back wouldn’t have them again - believe you really must have the fleck of a metallic to bring them to life
