Show me your 107 wheel colours
Going to get my 107’s re-powdercoated soon. Was thinking standard OEM silver, but what other options are there on the forum? Darker silver, shadow etc?
If you own a car with 107’s please can you post a pic with your wheels on this thread please.

Where did you get your wheels refurbed Sw4nny? They look a little like two of mine: more a grey than silver.

Go too dark and you hide the wheel design I feel. Be a shame to disguise one of the best wheels on an E85,

I love to see some spray them a bright colour like gold, copper or bronze then have the face machined, polished and lacquered.

I’m thinking maybe a touch darker than stock. Just a touch.

First off congratulations on choosing the 107's - best wheel style for the pre-facelift E85 bar none.
From personal experience I found that the 202's don't look right and although the 224's look nice they aren't stock so might not sit well with some (me included).
Now in terms of colour my advice would be definitely do not go black and generally avoid going darker you will end up losing the style definition. I'd be asking for the standard silver finish. As tempting as it is to go with a slightly different colour personally I don't think you can beat stock.

That would explain the grey
He supplied mine but two are more grey (like yours) than the other two, which have more silver in them. Think he's a bit hit and miss when it comes to colour matching.
