Darker grey suit many wheels, but the ellipsoids are best with oem silver, imo.

Cheers, I bought them off another forum member fully refurbed as he didn't like the colour against his silver car. I think they were classed as "anthracite" officially, but i'm not fancy so dark grey suits me. :lol:

Looking at the pictures on this thread, I personally wouldn't go any colour other than standard silver. Wheel colours seem to go in and out of fashion, most age the car prematurely and look poop when the novelty has worn thin. Silver on the other hand, always looks classy when clean.

I'm pleased with the result, they even 'blacked' the tyres...
